Tablet Policy for School Labs

Full Notes are here: https://koc.etherpad.mozilla.org/tablets

Upfront costs and shipping

  • This cost is equivalent to the cost of getting the tablets into Mexico.
    • Currently this is 185 pesos ($15 USD) per tablet.
  • Upon receipt of funds, the KoC Treasurer will use appropriate accounting procedures to ensure that the deposit is attributed to the school(s) and funds are held in escrow

Logistics

  • Tablet placement in a school is permanent - they are dropped off once we get the deposit. We felt there were too many logistical hurdles in picking up and dropping off the tablets to do a loan-type arrangement.
    • If a tablet is lost or stolen, the deposit is forfeited. If a tablet breaks and school returns it to us, the school will receive the deposit back.
  • Schools can decide ahead of time to do a local rotation
    • (e.g. 2 schools near each other can decide to share deposit cost and each school gets the tablets for 2 weeks at a time).
    • Deposit agreement is the same
  • Up to 10-15 Tablets per school (including 1 for the teacher) based on KOC evaluation of the school's needs.
