Chromebook Purchase/Lease To Own (LTO) Program Ends. All Chromebooks will now be borrowed.

• The district has ended the Lease/Parent Purchase program for Chromebooks and is transitioning all future device provisioning into a borrowed model, similar to how textbooks have been traditionally checked out to students. 

• Beginning with the 2023-24 school year, students in grades 5-12 will be issued a district-managed Chromebook at no charge and will be expected to take the device home and maintain good care of the device. Students and families will be responsible for costs associated with repairing or replacing the Chromebook in case of damage or loss. 

• Students who have Leased or Parent Purchased Chromebooks from prior years may continue to use those devices and will not need to borrow a Chromebook. 

Chromebook Loss and Damage Insurance Program Available for 2023-24

• Families will be responsible for paying for abused or willfully damaged computing devices. 

• The district is partnering with SchoolDeviceCoverage.com to provide optional damage and loss insurance for $49/year (for Chromebook only) or $64/year for Chromebook + Charger + Stylus). The price has increased this year due to the addition of damage coverage. Before, it only covered theft and loss. 

• This voluntary program provides families peace of mind that their student's district-managed Chromebooks will be financially covered in case of willful damage, theft, or loss.
