Parents of students who choose to use one of the district-provided devices are strongly encouraged to purchase an annual, nonrefundable device protection plan.  The $25 protection plan will be used to repair accidental damage, stolen devices (with a police report), and product failure (not a result of damage). It will not cover negligence, willful damage, or a lost device (see table below). Students on the free/reduced lunch program will be able to purchase the optional protection plan at a reduced price.  Students using a district-provided device who choose not to purchase the protection plan will be responsible for the full cost of any necessary repairs to the device.

Damage

A student device that is damaged/not working properly must be reported to school personnel immediately. All repairs will be performed by SISD-approved personnel. A student is not permitted to take an SISD device to another vendor to have repairs made on the device.

Lost / Missing

The Device Protection Plan does not cover equipment that is lost, missing, or willfully damaged. Replacement of the student device or accessories is covered by the Device Protection Plan ONLY if they stop working due to normal wear and tear. Families are responsible for the full cost of replacing any SISD student device or accessory that is not returned to school. Devices or accessories that are missing must be reported immediately to school personnel.  

Willful Damage

SISD does not cover intentional damage to a device. If the school determines that there was intentional damage or gross negligence to the device, or accessories, the student/parent is responsible for full payment of the damage.

Stolen Devices 

If a device or accessory is stolen on or off school property, it must be reported immediately to a school administrator. A police report MUST be filed by the student and/or parent or guardian. A copy of the police report must be provided to the campus administrator prior to assignment of a new device.

Temporary Devices 

There will be a limited number of temporary devices on the campus to provide for students should it be determined that their device will take an extended time to repair.
