CHROMEBOOK INSURANCE
A limited insurance plan is included as part of school fees for ALL Troy City Schools student Chromebooks. No application or enrollment is required.
The plan will cover:
Two (2) incidents per school year for the Chromebook itself, and
One (1) charger incident per school year.
The total for all covered incidents is limited to a maximum of $200 in repairs.
Any costs above and beyond the incidents and/or the $200 limit listed above will be the responsibility of the student/parent; a fine letter will be mailed to the student's home address and the specified fine will be added to the student's account. Fine amounts are listed below.
Coverage is 24 hours per day.
Damage(s) due to intentional, reckless, willful, wanton and/or malicious conduct is not covered. The building administration and/or technology department will determine if damages are accidental or due to negligence.
Lost Chromebooks and/or chargers will not be covered by the plan.
Stolen Chromebooks and/or chargers will be covered by plan as long as the parent/guardian submits to the school district a filed police report for the stolen Chromebook and/or charger.
There is no option to buy additional coverage.
