Device Fees
Chromebook devices and iPad tablets are loaned to students and remain the property of the KSD. Just like textbooks, team uniforms and other school property issued to students for school purposes, there is a responsibility to care for and return the property in good condition. However, we understand that
accidents or loss may happen, even when students are doing their best to take care of their devices.
Service
Unexpected problems do occur with the devices that are not the fault of the user (computer crashes, software errors, etc.). KSD Information Technology department is available to assist students with getting such issues resolved. Students should submit work orders through their school technology
coordinator. KSD-owned devices should not be taken to an outside computer service for repair.
Loaner Devices
Temporary replacements (sometimes called “hot swaps”) are available at each school so that learning may continue during any repair process. Students are responsible for the care of the loaner device. The same rules and regulations apply to loaner devices.
Repairs
Costs of accidental damage and theft are covered as follows. (Accidental damage, fire, flood or natural disaster.)
Examples Costs:
Accidental Damage
- First Incident: $25
- Second Incident: $50
- Third Incident: Full Cost
Example:
- Screen Replacement: $63
- First Incident: $25
- Second Incident: $50
- Third Incident: $63
Stolen*
- First Incident: $50
- Second Incident: $100
- Third Incident: Full Cost
Example:

*Police Report is required.
Not Covered
- Cords
- Charger
- Case
- Missing keys (they do not just fall off)
- Negligent/willful damage
- Lost devices
- Theft without police report/failure to return
Two incidents total, in any combination (damage/stolen) are covered per year. The family will be financially responsible for replacement/repair costs associated with any damage or loss to subsequently issued Chromebooks.
If a lost or stolen device is later recovered in working condition, the fine will be refunded.
Accidental Damage vs. Negligence
Accidents do happen. There is a difference, however, between an accident and negligence. If the device is deemed to be intentionally or willfully damaged, the student may be subject to discipline and the cost of repair or replacement. Willful damage includes damage caused by removal of the case, writing on the machine, willful destruction, prying off keys/trackpad, spilling liquid in the machine, etc.
Repair costs are for parts; no labor charges are assessed. Representative costs are provided here:

iPad Fees
Every K-2 student will be assigned an iPad in their classroom. After the student has been assigned their iPad, it is their responsibility to care for and return the device in good condition.
Service
If the device is damaged or there appears to be an issue with the iPad, the student’s teacher can assist the student in getting the iPad over to their school’s Technology Coordinator. They will issue the student a replacement iPad and send over the damaged/malfunctioning iPad to the KSD Information Technology team for review.
Repairs
If damage occurs to the iPad whether on-site or off-site, the student is responsible for the cost of the repair or replacement of the iPad. If the student has purchased insurance and the iPad meets the insurance criteria, they will receive the insurance pricing for the repair. For more pricing information, please see the device fees information listed above. Listed below is the full cost repairs for an iPad.
