[Year 12 IPM] lost laptop

[Roland Gesthuizen]

We provide laptop locks for all teacher work desks and secure storage 
lockers for all staff. DET have an excess component to the insurance 
($200?) that must be paid for when laptops are stolen. Our school has a 
policy to cover this expense if the laptop was stolen at school (by 
forced entry / exit).

Regards Roland
