This year families have the option to purchase an Optional Chromebook Protection Plan for their student’s school-issued Chromebook. The protection plan costs $20 per student/device and is non-refundable. Families interested in purchasing this protection plan are encouraged to do so through the online SchoolCash Online payment portal by September 11th.

 

Important Dates

The Optional Chromebook Protection Plan will be available for purchase beginning Monday, August 17, 2026, through Friday, September 11, 2026.

After September 11, families will no longer be able to purchase the protection plan for the 2026-2027 school year.

 

What Does the Protection Plan Cover?

The plan provides coverage for accidental damage or loss of the Chromebook, according to the following schedule:

1st incident: No cost to the family

2nd incident: 50% of the repair or replacement cost, whichever is less

3rd and subsequent incidents: 100% of the repair or replacement cost, whichever is less

Potential costs for Chromebook repairs or replacement may include:

Up to $300 for device replacement

$50 for screen replacement

$35 for a replacement charger

 

What Is Not Covered?

The Optional Chromebook Protection Plan does not cover:

Lost or stolen chargers

Intentional damage to the Chromebook or equipment

If ACPS determines that equipment was intentionally damaged, the student and/or parent/guardian will be responsible for 100% of the repair or replacement cost, whichever is less.

 

Other Insurance Options

Families may also choose to obtain property insurance at their own expense to provide additional protection for school-issued equipment.

Please note that choosing not to participate in the Optional Chromebook Protection Plan or choosing not to obtain property insurance does not relieve the student and/or parent/guardian of responsibility for the school-issued equipment or any applicable repair or replacement costs.

Thank you for helping us ensure that our students have the technology they need to learn and succeed throughout the school year.
