Optional Durango School District Chromebook Insurance Policy:
It is Durango School District’s intent to distribute new Chromebooks to incoming 6th and 9th grade students. Upon distribution of the new device, the student may submit a new non-refundable insurance deposit to cover the new device. This insurance policy is available to 6th – 12th grade students.
Prior to being issued a Chromebook, each middle and high school student can submit a non-refundable $50 insurance deposit to Durango 9-R. This deposit will cover repairs for the first instance of accidental damage. Should a student have a second instance of accidental damage, the parent will be required to pay the first $75 of the repair cost. The repair cost for a third instance of accidental damage is $100. After a third incident, the student is no longer eligible for reduced repair costs and must pay the full repair or replacement cost for their device.
Replacement of lost or stolen devices is also covered by this deposit, provided a report has been filed with the appropriate authorities.
The $50 insurance deposit covers the Chromebook's entire life cycle, it is not a yearly fee. Parents will need to pay $50 for their child’s middle school Chromebook and another $50 for the high school Chromebook allocation. This payment is only required when a new device is issued, not every year.
Any student intentionally damaging or tampering with a device, physically or logically, will be responsible for the entire repair or replacement cost of the device and subject to disciplinary action and may be required to checkout a device for daily use.
