Bottom Line Up Front
Below you’ll find the Technology Services’ Standard Operating Procedure for staff to check out a device that is “out of scope”.
Background
Corvallis School District Technology Services works diligently to provide functional devices for Staff, customized by their position and job-related tasks.
For staff with multiple positions, we will provide the device with the highest technical specifications with input from the staff member.
For those times when there is a temporary need beyond the scope of their job description (e.g., using specialized software only available on another device or operating system):
Technology Services has made a number of devices available in each school office for use as a short-term check out.

A Sample of Perceived Needs for Using a Short-Term Checkout Device
Windows
- Need to access systems, or programs that can only be accessed from a Windows device-- e.g., Microsoft Publisher
- Need for VPN use
Chromebook
- Need for a touch Screen/Pen
Mac
- Need for Mac/iPad
- Need for Mac-specific app
iPad
- Need for iPad-specific app
Note- Web content filtering and assigned apps based on current user. If you are hoping to emulate a “Student” vs. “Staff” experience, this may require a check in with your SPOC for technical direction.
