The District is self-insuring for all devices. All students are encouraged to pay the device insurance fee.
The yearly insurance premium fee for the 2023-2024 school year is $30 per student for laptop devices (Grades 5-12), and $15 per student for iPad devices (Grades K-4). The deductible fees for the 2023-2024 school year will be $30 for damage and a $250 deductible for theft or loss. The deductible is charged for each incident and is in addition to the insurance premium.

For families with more than one student in the same school, please use a separate check for each student to pay the insurance premium. If a student does not have device insurance and the device is lost, stolen or damaged while in that student’s control, in school or off campus, the District reserves the right to hold the parents/guardians responsible for full replacement or repair cost.
