Bulletin One 2012 2013 Final.pdf - Fort Worth ISD

If a student is in possession of a personal telecommunications or electronic device in violation of
the standards established by the campus administrator and the District, an authorized District
employee may confiscate the device.
When a device is confiscated, the campus administrator must log the device into the Electronic
Devise Confiscation Log. The administrator must also complete the Confiscated Electronic
Devise form and send it home within two days of the confiscation.
To retrieve the device, in elementary and middle schools, a parent must:
1. Present in person at the campus, during posted school hours, with written proof of
ownership and a photo ID;
2. Complete a form acknowledging return of the device; and
3. Pay $15 fee for each telecommunications device (cell phone or pager). A fee cannot be
charged for the return of other electronic devices.
In high schools only, a student can retrieve his/her own device.
If a telecommunications device is not retrieved within 30 days, and notification has been made to
the parents, the school will dispose of the device. The District has partnered with Watts Wireless
for this process. At least quarterly, collect all electronic devices that have not been retrieved and
place them in a box. Note on the Confiscation Log that you are disposing of the device. Request
a FedEx label from Watts Wireless by sending an email to Wade Watts at
wade@wattswireless.com. Adhere the label to the box and ship the items. The school will
receive a check from Watts Wireless for the value of the devices approximately 2 weeks after the
items are shipped.
