8. iPad Related-How to handle a student transferring schools or moving out of the district?

a. Before leaving the original school, the student is to return the iPad to the media center. (I suggest this should become part of your clearing form.) b. If the student is transferring to a school in Liberty County, the media specialist will place a work order to have the iPad picked up by a tech specialist. (If the student has left the district, reset the iPad. Remove the student’s name from the clam case.)

c. The tech specialist will take the iPad to the new school. A new sticker, noting the school and student’s name will be applied by the media specialist.

d. The media specialist at the new school will transfer the iPad to his or her school inventory using Asset Manager’s in-hand transfer method.

e. The student will report to the media center to checkout his or her iPad.
