For K-12 IT teams
The Chromebook Return & Recovery Audit Checklist
A one-page checklist for the three moments Chromebooks go missing: summer collection, lost-or-stolen reports, and student departures.
- Close the gap between your device inventory and what Google Admin actually shows
- A first-24-hours response sequence for lost and stolen devices
- End-of-year collection and deprovisioning steps that don't leave devices live

A look inside
Before devices go out
- Every device is in the inventory with serial, asset tag, assigned student, and OU
- Device-to-student assignment is recorded somewhere other than a spreadsheet one person owns
First 24 hours after a lost or stolen report
- Record the report: who, which device, when last seen, police report number if filed
- Disable the device in Google Admin and confirm the status actually changed
End-of-year collection
- Reconcile devices returned against devices assigned; list every gap by student
- Deprovision or re-OU returned devices so they stop receiving student policy
Every month
- Spot-check a sample of 'returned' devices to confirm they are really in the building
- Review devices that have not checked in for 30+ days
Rather not check all of this by hand?
UserAuthGuard keeps watch on your student accounts and devices so these checks run without anyone remembering to run them.
