Face Coverings Within the School Environment

Students enrolled in grades kindergarten through fifth in Rutherford County Schools will have the opportunity to use a personal digital learning device (“device”) both at school and at home throughout the school year. Providing devices for students is a key component of Rutherford County Schools’ vision that all students graduate prepared for college and career success.


A $20 technology fee is required and can be paid in a $10 payment per semester. Students who do not pay the technology fee will be day users only. Families with financial hardships may request a fee waiver from the school’s principal.

Each device is the property of Rutherford County Schools and is assigned to a specific student. As such, possession and use of the device depends upon each student’s compliance with the school district’s acceptable use agreement, this handbook, and Rutherford County Board of Education policies. The school district reserves the right to modify these terms of use as necessary and appropriate.
