Just re-reading the school’s view on this
http://www.kasd.org/districtinfo/kasdPressrelease.htm

“”Unfortunately, after repeated warnings and disciplinary actions, a few students continued to misuse the school-issued laptops to varying degrees. The disciplinary actions included detentions, in-school suspensions, loss of Internet access, and loss of computer privileges. After each disciplinary action, parents received either written notification or telephone calls. Some parents felt that the disciplinary actions were ridiculous and even expressed the feeling that their son/daughter should be able to do non-school activities and use the laptop without restrictions. Some students acknowledged that they used their school-issued laptop inappropriately at home rather than their home computer for fear their parent would catch them””

The parents AND students were given ample chances and warnings prior to the police finally being called.

And as far as the kids “just playing” here is what the school had to say about it.

“”The district has incurred many hours of technician time in returning the misused laptops to their original images. This additional time meant additional technician hours and less technology coordinator time spent in high school classrooms and in the other five district buildings. “”

Are the parents going to pick up the tab for the technicians time?
