Parents began receiving textbook rental statements on October 11th, 2016. Parents were NEVER informed of a new fee charged for IPADs of $131.13 per child if your child is in grade 7 and up. The district chose to add an Apple Care package to each IPAD without giving the people paying for it a choice! This is a far cry from the $30.00 fee we have paid in years past. The district cannot expect families with multiple children to pay all of these added fees, and give us no alternative! Please sign the petition and send a message to our school board that this is NOT acceptable! All parents are encouraged to attend the school board meeting on November 1, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. located at the Administration building, 1240 State Road 930 E. New Haven IN, 46774. Together we can make our dissatisfaction known!

EACS thinks they can sneak these charges past us without a word. We are almost at one hundred signatures and we need to hit that mark right now to show them we are organized against this theft.

we already have an iPad now I have to rent two for 6 yrs @ $131 totalling $1572...... I can buy two brand new ones for less than $1000 this is THEFT plain and simple........AND WE ARE STILL PAYING BOOK FEES!!!!!
I asked about the typical $30 iPad charge at registration ND said "oh they're tacking it to the book fees later." Now I know why! We have iPads and Samsung tablets and don't even need these Ipads, which the books don't work on half the time anyway. Not paying $131. Hell to the no.
This is absurd! absolutely rediculous! Then u want it paid within 2 weeks of getting the statement!?? So I'm a single father paying almost 400.00 for his textbook fee! Where's the textbooks? something needs done about this
I understand the need for the service package on the iPads because some kids may be a little rough with them. However, what I do not appreciate is not being informed ahead of time that the charge for the iPads would go up so significantly.
Daughter is Samantha Summers. The parents of said students have the right to know what the charge covers, who the company is providing the coverage, what other options were explored and why is this coverage mandatory when students already pay for damaged devices when damage occurs.

We were not consulted on the purchase of Apple Care. With a cost more than 300% of the original fee, this is not right. Even if I were to pay the $100 fee for Apple Care, what is the additional $31 for? I'll provide my child with an iPad for school and I'll keep the $131/year/child.
