SkieWhat happens to the tablet when a student leaves the school?
Reassign the tablet to the next student, or unassign it. The student's data is cleared and the device's history stays, so the school keeps a record of who had it. If the tablet is going back to the family or being retired, use Remove Skie to release it cleanly.
Leaving is a routine event and Skie treats it that way. You have two sensible paths, depending on whose tablet it is.
If the tablet belongs to the school, it stays in the fleet. Open the student, unassign or reassign the device, and the student's details are cleared. The device's history stays, which is useful later when someone asks who had that tablet in the spring term. Reassign hands it straight to the next student in the same or another group without a new setup, and the seat stays in use.
If the tablet goes home with the student, for example in a programme where families buy the device, release it. Remove Skie turns off every protection, shows every app again, restores DNS settings and releases ownership. It deletes no apps. The family gets a normal Android tablet back. After that the seat is free for another device.
Disable the student's login at the same time if they had one, and remove any parent access to that child. Disabling a user is available to admins for exactly this.
If the tablet is lost with a student who has left, use lost mode instead of release, so the lock and tracking stay.
A practical tip: add device return to the school's leaving checklist, next to the library book and the ID card. A written step on the transfer certificate prevents the most common leak, which is a tablet that simply goes missing during the summer.
