1. District 49 is offering an optional non-refundable, one-time repair benefit
($30.00-Chromebook; $30.00-iPad; $75.00-MacBook) for each device that is
issued.

i. This benefit provides coverage for a one-time damage repair in the event
that negligence for care of the device has occurred. Should the benefit
be used for repairs within the school-year, families are encouraged to
purchase an additional repair benefit, as this coverage is applicable for a
one-time repair only. School administration will determine negligence on
an individual basis.

2. This benefit does not provide coverage for intentional harm to district devices
such as liquid damage, abuse, loss, theft, or vandalism. For example,
throwing the device or using the device as an umbrella would be considered
examples of abuse. In the event a district device is damaged intentionally, it is
the family’s financial responsibility to cover the costs of repairs up to but not
more than the replacement cost of the device.

i. Chromebook-$280

ii. 32GB iPad-$300

iii. MacBook-$1300

3. Families do NOT have the option to repair the device themselves.

4. If a device is damaged, it is the responsibility of the family to notify the school’s
administration. The administration will work with the family to determine the
extent and cause of the damage.

5. This benefit covers only the device itself, NOT its accessories (charger, cable
or case). Please note only district issued accessories, may be used with district
owned devices. When there is loss or irreparable damage to the device
accessories, the family may be financially responsible to cover the costs of
replacement:

i. $20 power cord (Chromebook only)

ii. $20 charging cord AND $20 charging brick (iPad only)

iii. $75 power cord (MacBook only)

iv. $45 case (IPad only)

6. Families should determine whether they would like to participate in this benefit
prior to the school’s distribution of the device as determined by the school’s
administration.
