• Chromebook Insurance does not cover a lost or stolen Chromebook. The student is responsible for the full Chromebook replacement fee.

• Technical issues with a student Chromebook not resulting from student damage are fully covered by the school.

• Manufacture defects are fully covered by the school, and all warranty issues are handled by an IT Repair Specialist.

Examples of out of pocket repair costs with no self-insurance coverage:

Most major Chromebook damage is non-repairable, or repair costs would equal or exceed the vaule of the device.
