FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS ONLY! ¡SOLO PARA ESTUDIANTES DE SECUNDARIA!
In Birdville ISD, we believe in providing students the opportunity to learn anytime, anywhere, and at any pace while developing future-ready skills. BISD students in grades 6th through 12th will be assigned a district-owned Chromebook to use at home and school. For a device to be issued to a student, the district's Birdville ISD Responsible Use Guidelines and Secondary Parent and Student Equipment Use Agreement must be agreed to during enrollment. The student is responsible for any fees associated with a lost or damaged device.
To offset this cost, parents/guardians have the option to purchase an annual protection plan each school year for $25 for a single student or $50 for two or more students. Students on the free and reduced lunch program will be automatically enrolled in the protection plan. If you feel you should receive this enrollment, please contact your campus administrator.
To purchase the protection plan, visit BISD's online payment portal (Revtrack). Please click on the Student Chromebook tab, complete the required information, and submit the appropriate payment.
Students will return the device to the library. The receiving party (librarian, library assistant, or student assistant) will immediately update Focus to reflect the student's device assignment change and create a Help Desk Ticket, listing the device model, asset tag number, or serial number.
Once a ticket has been submitted to the Help Desk, the Technology Department will collect the device for repair/replacement. If one is available, a loaner device will be issued to the student. If repair or replacement is needed due to malicious damage, the school may refuse to provide a loaner or reissue a device.
Students are notified via their campus Chromebook Coordinator when their device has been repaired or is ready for replacement. Repaired/replaced devices should be picked up in the designated area at each campus. The loaned device should be exchanged for the repaired device, including any power cords/chargers. A repaired device may need to be restored to its original settings, in which case, locally stored files may not be recoverable.
In the event of device theft, a police report must be filed as soon as possible after determining the theft.
Replacement for lost or stolen devices will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and will be at the discretion of the campus principal and/or district administration.
Repair costs apply only to secondary students and if purchased, the annual protection plan covers 50% of repair and replacement costs, that's up to $400 in savings! Parents or students must pay the repair fees through RevTrak, the District’s online payment system. To do so, please click on the Student Chromebook tab, complete the required information, and submit the appropriate payment.
Incidental damage fees will be based on the table below and are subject to change:
The cost of repairing or replacing a device or accessory due to intentional damage will be the full replacement cost of the device or component, even if the student is enrolled in the optional insurance program.
Chromebook replacement - $400
Component/accessories charges are as follows:
Charger replacement - $25
Asset Tag - $15
Sticker removal - $15
