Student Handbook
Lost or Damaged Equipment Policy
Many tools and instruments used in the shops and classrooms are furnished at school district expense. Each student is responsible for all books and equipment issued to him/her. If an item issued to a student is misplaced, stolen, or damaged, the student will reimburse the CDC for any loss. When tools, instruments, or other materials are removed from shops or classrooms, the student to whom issuance was made is held responsible for the return of any such items. Students are not permitted to take tools from school property unless under the supervision of the faculty/staff. Students whose negligence causes the loss of tools, instruments, etc. will reimburse the CDC for their loss. Intentional vandalism by a student can, after a due process hearing, result in the student being suspended or expelled from the CDC. According to state statute 16 §556, the parent or guardian of a pupil shall be liable to a school district for damaged or lost books and other learning materials.
Personal Property
Students shall assume responsibility for all personal property brought on to campus, including personal electronic devices. At no time shall the Southwest Vermont Regional Technical School District (CDC) be responsible for preventing theft, loss, or damage to student property brought to its school sites.
