5 BYOD Parent and Student Agreement Let s take a look at the 1 st paragraph Buncombe County Schools (BCS) is committed to moving students and staff forward in a 21st century learning environment. As part of this plan, Buncombe County Schools will allow students and staff to bring their own devices (BYOD) during any teaching and learning day. With classroom teacher discretion, students may use their own devices in the classroom. Participants should use personal devices during the instructional day to support their educational activities and maintain academic integrity in all their work at all times. Access for personal reasons is secondary and must not disrupt the learning of others. The current cell phone policy for students remains in effect and supersedes this statement of use. It s up to your TEACHER when and IF you have your device out! Devices are used for EDUCATIONAL purposes ONLY!!! This means this policy is not for cell phones and our original cell phone rules must still be followed!

6 2 nd Paragraph of Agreement The BYOD wireless network will only provide filtered Internet access. BCS staff are not responsible for configuring personal devices to access this network. Users may not access the Buncombe County Schools network via hardwired connection with any personal device. BYOD devices will not have access to the internal BCS network or resources provided by the internal BCS network, including shared drives and printers. Meaning you will have the same access to Internet sites as you would if you were using a school computer! Teachers and/or Media Staff will NOT help you access this network. YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO GET TO YOUR WIRELESS SETTINGS! And again, your device must be wireless!! Means no access to our network including shared drives (J:drive, etc.) and NO PRINTING!!

8 3 rd Paragraph of Agreement Responsibility for maintenance and repair of privately owned devices rests with the individual owner. Buncombe County Schools (BCS), and its employees, are not responsible for the maintenance and repair of personal devices. Submitted Bolt tickets without proper asset management tags associated with BCS property will not be supported. Teachers and/or the Media Staff will NOT fix, troubleshoot or repair your device if there is a problem! That is up to you!!!!!!

9 4 th Paragraph of Agreement It is the joint responsibility of school personnel and the parent or guardian of each student to educate the student about his/her responsibilities and to establish expectations when using technology.
