Device Insurance Flier (English) - Click here to view in Spanish

We all know accidents can happen. Without CSDNB's Student Device Insurance Program, you could be on the hook for costly device repairs or replacement costs. The Student Device Insurance Program ($20/school year) is designed to protect students and families in the event that the Chromebook issued to a student is damaged or malfunctions due to no fault of the student.

CSDNB reserves the right to charge the student the entire replacement cost if student negligence is determined to be the cause of the damage.This coverage is effective from the first day school year until the first day of the following school year. Insurance must be renewed annually.

Opt Out

Insuance enrollment is optional, so there is no opt out process. While insurance is optional, it is the most affordable and fastest way to get a broken device repaired. Any repairs required without insurance will be invoiced through MySchoolBucks. All money collected is used to purchase parts for repairs.

Covered Events

Chargers
Chromebook chargers that are damaged, broken, or lost are included in the insurance coverage and will be replaced through a ticket claim. If a charger tip breaks off inside the Chromebook and cannot be removed, there will be two insurance claims used. One for the charger and one for the repair.

Cases/bags
Chromebook cases that are damaged, broken, or lost are included in the insurance coverage as a claim or can be purchased at the cost shown on the MySchoolBucks Store.

Minor Physical Repair
Events like a broken LCD screen, broken keyboards. Does not cover lost or total destruction.

Overview

> The insurance provided applies ONLY to any student device issued to your student by New Britain Public Schools, whether it is the originally issued Chromebook, a loaner, or a replacement.

> The device insurance program cost for the school year is $20.00 (non-refundable) for each student device. This is intended to provide accidental coverage including minor physical damage to the device. Parents/guardians can enroll their student(s) via the district's My School Bucks Store. Cash or checks are not an acceptable forms of payment.

> If a family does not choose to pay the annual insurance, the family may be responsible for the full cost of replacement parts plus labor or full replacement cost of the Chromebook. A quote / invoice for repair will be sent through MySchoolBucks. • If another accidental damage instance should occur after the two insurance ticket claims are used, an additional repair fee will be due. All payments should be made through My School Bucks.. Cash or checks are not an acceptable form of payment.

> In the event a student withdraws from the district, the premium is not refundable. If a student withdraws from New Britain Public Schools and then re-enrolls later in the same school year, the coverage purchased at the initial registration will be reinstated.

> All student devices are labeled with a District Asset Tag. Asset Tags are not to be modified or tampered with in any way. Students may be charged up to the full replacement cost of a Chromebook for tampering with a District Asset Tag or turning in a Chromebook without an Asset Tag.
