COMPUTER LEASING PROGRAM
To participate in the CyberLynx Computer Leasing Program, a family first purchases a new computer during the school year. The signed lease form and original receipt for the computer purchase must be sent to the Nenana CyberLynx Office. CyberLynx then leases the computer from the family for $38 per month. Payment are made to the family on a quarterly basis. Please refer to the Computer Payment Schedule (Page 37 in the Student Handbook).
Payments continue for up to three years or until the purchase price of the computer has been reached.
Lease payments terminate on the date of withdrawal from the CyberLynx program. CyberLynx can accept computer receipts only from retail stores (Examples, but not limited to Sam's Club, Costco, Fred Meyer, Gateway, Dell, and Apple).
CyberLynx cannot accept receipts from third-party purchases or generic Internet purchases. Receipts must show payment made in full (payment plans are not accepted). Receipts may not be dated prior to April 30th of the enrolled school year. April 15th is the final date to submit computer receipts.
COMPUTER ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
With a $200 (out of pocket) deposit families can receive a new desktop or laptop computer.
The Nenana office must receive the deposit (money order or check only) with a signed Computer Assignment before the computers will be ordered or delivered.
Beginning with the current school year, and continuing with the following two school years, a withdrawal will be taken from the student allotment to pay for the computer. For a laptop, the annual withdrawal is $325 and for a desktop the annual withdrawal is $250 a year.
At the end of a three-year period students/families may purchase the computer by forfeiting the deposit. The equipment security deposit is fully refundable upon return of the computer prior to the June 30th of the 3rd year in CyberLynx.
After three years of participating in this computer program, if the computer is not returned by June 30th of the third year, Nenana City School District keeps the $200 computer deposit and the computer becomes property of the family. The $200 deposit will be forfeited if the equipment is returned in poor or damaged condition, software/original packaging/documentation are missing, or the computer is not returned.
If the student is withdrawn from CyberLynx the computer must be returned or the amount of the remaining payment(s) must be received at time of withdrawal.
If the computer or the remaining balance is not received within sixty days of withdrawal, the computer may be reported to the authorities as stolen.
