Chromebook Insurance Option

Optional Insurance (per device) can be purchased here

  1. The protection premium is $20 per device and is being offered to offset the expense of repairs billed to the parents.

  2. The protection premium is annual and must be renewed each year.

Repairs HDSD WILL cover if a protection premium has been purchased:

  • Accidental physical damage (ex. Walking down the hall and a student accidentally drops it, another student knocks a student’s Chromebook off a desk). The principal and technology director decide if there is a discrepancy if the incident causing the needed repair was accidental.

  • Accidental power surge (ex., Chromebook is not plugged in correctly to the outlet and gets zapped, lighting, or power jumps up and down). The principal and technology director decide if there is a discrepancy if the incident causing the needed repair was accidental.

  • Warranty work or repairs (no deductible is required for warranty repairs as they are paid in full by the manufacturer according to the manufacturer’s warranty as stated below)

  • Theft, burglary, or robbery with a completed police report submitted to the IT department.

Repairs HDSD School District WILL NOT cover (the parent/guardian will pay for the repair and/or replacement of the device, whichever is less):

  • Theft, burglary, or robbery of the Chromebook without a completed police report

  • Accidental loss of the Chromebook

  • Intentional loss or damage to the Chromebook or damage due to negligence

  • Loss of power cord

  • Illegal use or fraud of the Chromebook

  • Dishonest acts, including selling Chromebook

  • Cosmetic damage to the physical appearance that does not hinder the regular operation

  • Insect or animal damage

  • Any other use the school district deems inappropriate. The principal, technology coordinator, and/or superintendent makes the final decision if there is a discrepancy on if the incident causing the needed repair was because of inappropriate actions.

Repairs the vendor’s one-year warranty WILL cover:

  • The vendor warrants the Chromebook from defects in materials and workmanship

  • The limited warranty covers mechanical breakdown and/or faulty construction

  • The vendor will provide standard replacement parts necessary to repair the Chromebook or, if required, a Chromebook replacement.
