The school has created policies around the use and treatment of the student-provided laptop. A breach in these policies usually surrounds misconduct, damage, or neglect of the device. In each scenario, a process-driven approach has been created to ensure the incident and response are rooted in education and awareness, so students do not continue to commit the same offence.
