[Offtopic] Security for student laptops

[Kevork Krozian]

Thanks Cameron.
Cameras and heavy duty locks seem the sensible solution. Anything else is asking for trouble with a large administration overhead having an adult collect and return them.

  We require that we sight a heavy duty keyed lock on their locker before handover. Cameras are near most lockers.

    Hi Folks,

     We are rolling out 100 laptops for Yr 7 students shortly and there is debate on how to secure them during the day eg. when student is at sport, at lunch, at some other activity.
    The options are to have a layer of admin where they hand them in to an adult who stores them until they collect it – labour , storage, costs are obvious disadvantages.
    Alternatively they use their lockers with cameras located in locker bays for monitoring any theft, tampering.

    What have schools done about this issue  ?

    With thanks
