District Laptop Info...
FEA Leadership has heard from many of you about your concern regarding the
Technology Agreement you are being asked to sign in order to check out a new
laptop. We have heard loudly and clearly that FEA members are uncomfortable
with being required to purchase their own insurance in order to take the
laptop off Ferndale School District property. The FEA Bargaining team has
approached the District team about the requirement to purchase insurance,
and we've been told the use of the laptop off District property is an
individual choice. The response did not satisfy our team. We shared with
the District that we feel it is an inappropriate request and an unfair
burden on our members.
As we continue to discuss the matter at the table we encourage you to use
your best judgment when deciding whether or not to sign the Technology
Agreement or check out a laptop. Many members have shared that they will
not be signing the agreement until FEA resolves the issue with the District.
We hope to resolve the laptop insurance issue in negotiations and will let
you know when we do so.
