In FCPSOn schools, each student receives an FCPS-issued laptop to access dynamic resources and participate in learning tailored to the student’s individual needs. Students will have access to the device at school and will take the device home.

An annual technology support fee of $50 will be charged to high school students. The technology support fee will help ensure students have access to the technology they need by defraying the cost to repair and replace equipment. The technology support fee is included in the FCPS FY 2020 Approved Budget. Get more information about the fee. There will not be additional fees for incidental damage. However, schools will treat repeated instances of damage from negligence the same way they would treat negligent damage to any school property. Students may be financially liable for lost/stolen computers.
