Liberty County School System
iPad Update

The Liberty Learning Experience affords all students the opportunity to participate in a 1:1 learning environment where learning is personalized, engaging, meaningful, and student-centered.   As the school system has deployed iPads to students, we have remained committed to using the devices for instructional purposes. There have been concerns with students downloading non-instructional apps.  Beginning November 14, 2014, all Liberty County School System students may only have approved apps on their iPads. Unannounced iPad checks will take place weekly at the middle and high school levels to ensure only the approved apps are on their devices.  The approved app list is available on the school system’s webpage as well as each school’s webpage. The list can be found at http://www.libertyschools.org/approvedapps.  If students have apps on iPads that are not on the approved app list, disciplinary consequences will follow.  Please refer to the iPad Pride Handbook and LCSS Acceptable Use Policies/Procedures for specifics.  iPads currently have Internet filtering at school and by November 14th; the Internet will be filtered on all LCSS iPads at home as well.

iPad Insurance
Students can no longer purchase insurance for the 2014-2015 school year.  Please remember that if you purchased insurance on your student's iPad, the insurance will cover damages to the iPad, however ClamCases are not covered under the insurance. ClamCases are replaced at a cost of $50.00.  If you chose not to purchase insurance for your student, you may be held responsible for the cost of repairs. Please check with your student’s school for additional information. 


We will continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of the deployment and usage. 
The school system will provide updates about the Liberty Learning Experience as needed.
