Self Insured Program

Chromebook and iPad Self-Insured Program

The Orchard Park Technology Department is pleased to announce they will be offering in-house repairs at a lower cost to families than the previous insurance model.  They will no longer be offering 3rd party Chromebook and iPad insurance with Worth Ave Group. 

The majority of Chromebook and iPad repairs that we encounter are the result of normal wear and tear, and are repairable by our team of technicians. In these situations, no repair fee will be charged to families.

With this new model, parents will only be charged the in-house repair fee when a repair is needed due to accidental damage. The in-house repair fee is lower than the previous cost of insurance and is only assessed when there is accidental damage.

Students are responsible for the device(s) issued to them and are asked to treat them with appropriate care as expected for all school property. A one year manufacturer warranty protects the Chromebook or iPad from manufacturer defects.. The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, abuse, loss or accidents.

Intentional Damage and Negligence

There may be rare instances where a malfunction with a student Chromebook or iPad falls outside the normal repair scenario. As outlined in Board Policy 8340, a Chromebook, iPad or any of the associated accessories that are lost, negligently cared for, intentionally damaged (including cosmetic damage), becomes the financial responsibility of the student and parent involved in the loss of property, up to the device value of $290.

Please email technology@opschools.org if you have any questions about student Chromebooks, iPads or graphing calculators.
