What happens when a device is lost, stolen, or damaged?

It is important to remember that the school has the ability to track the GPS location of each device and remotely control access to each device. In the event of loss or theft, it is very important to notify school personnel quickly. The school district will treat a lost device as stolen and will support the authorities in tracking the device with our remote access.

If a device has been damaged, the student will be billed according to the repair costs listed on the Schuylerville Central School District website. Students will need to sign out a building loaner until the bill is paid in full. Checks can be made out to Schuylerville Central Schools and mailed to or delivered to the building that the student attends.
