How much is Accidental Damage Protection?
Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) can be purchased for $25 for each District issued Chromebook. The District recommends parents/guardians purchase this device coverage to cover potential incidents like cracked screens, missing keyboard keys, damaged plastics, liquid spills, and theft. Funds from this program will be used to repair damaged devices or replace devices covered under the program.
When can ADP be purchased?
Accidental Damage Protection can be purchased NOW using the link below or directly through MySchoolBucks. You will need to sign your student up for Chromebook ADP at MySchoolBucks.com. If you wish to purchase an additional policy later in the year, you may do so using the same link. Late enrollments are not prorated and do not cover incidents of damage before the purchase.

Is ADP required for my student to receive a District issued Chromebook?
Purchasing Accidental Damage Protection is optional, but highly recommended. ADP purchases are non-refundable. Without ADP, the student’s parent/legal guardian is responsible for all costs associated with the repair or replacement of the device due to accidental damage, or theft. The student’s parent/legal guardian agrees to reimburse the District for the cost of the student Chromebook within 30 days of reporting damage, theft, or any other loss.
What does ADP cover?
The ADP program protects the student’s district-issued device against a maximum of two (2) instances of accidental damage OR one (1) complete replacement of a damaged beyond repair or stolen device. ADP does not cover lost devices or chargers. Without ADP, typical repair costs for things like a broken screen or keyboard can range from $100-200 depending on the model. For excessive damage, Chromebooks have a total replacement cost of $400.
How does ADP work?
Each Accidental Damage Protection plan is worth 2 credits:
- Single item repair = 1 Credit
- Device replacement = 2 Credits
If a damaged device is repaired for one (1) credit, the device is NO LONGER eligible for replacement due to insufficient available credits. To qualify for a device replacement after a completed repair, an additional plan may be proactively purchased for additional credits.
Credits cannot be transferred to another student.
