Protecting a Chromebook

The LSSD has made a major financial commitment in supplying every secondary student with a Chromebook for educational use. Part of a student’s responsibility is to keep the Chromebook free from damage and misuse. Chromebooks are the property of the district and just like a textbook, are to remain clean and unmarked by students. You will receive fines for damages to your Chromebook, insurance does not cover intentional damage. If a Chromebook is damaged by another student, they are responsible for the repairs/replacement.
