LEAF Forestry & GPS Educator Kits
Greetings! Independence High School is glad to be a host site for one of the NEW Forestry & GPS Education Kits! Independence Agricultural Science Instructor Jason Hovell filled out an application for these great resources, which are valued at over $3,000.

About the Kits & Kit Ettiquette:
The equipment is divided into 2 different learning kits: a "Forestry Kit" and a "GPS Kit". For courtesy, the educator kits may be checked out for 2 (two) week time periods. If available, you may request to check out both the Forestry & GPS Kits at the same time, for a total of two weeks, to be fair to others wanting to use the kits. As a professional, we know that we all need to make deadlines, and expect the kits to be back on time for the next person to use.
The LEAF people make it clear that there is a "You Break it, You Buy it" policy with the kit. Please be up front if something gets broken, as I don't want to be the bad guy and make false accusations to someone...
The kit comes with rechargeable batteries, and you are asked to "recharge" thebatteries, as well as delete any GPS waypoints before returning the kit.

How do I check the kit out?
An up-to-date (or very close) schedule in a Microsoft word attachment is posted below of when the kit is being used, and when it is available. It's relatively easy for me to modify the schedule after someone has it booked for particular dates, so the schedule posted should reflect dates available (if I'm doing my job).
To contact me for availability of kits, email works best for me [email protected]. My school phone # is 715-985-3172 ext 127, or you may call my cell # at 608-534-0024. As far as pickup goes, my departure time at the end of the school day may vary from 4pm-6pm... I live in Trempealeau, and it may be convienient for many of you to pick up there, and save you a half hour of driving time.
Thanks!
