Laptop Insurance
The CLSD encourages all students (with the exception to in-person elementary students) to purchase laptop insurance. Insurance will protect the student in the event of accidental damage to the computer by offsetting the cost required to replace broken parts. Students with laptop insurance will pay 10% of the cost to replace damaged computer parts vs the full cost they would pay if they did not have insurance.
Laptop insurance can be paid at any point during the year. It will become active when we receive your insurance form application. Any damage that occurs to the computer prior to receiving the form will not be covered under the insurance plan. Students who purchase insurance throughout the school year will be required to show technology services their computer to verify that there is no damage to the computer prior to purchasing insurance.
Insurance will not cover lost/stolen laptops or severely damaged (vandalized) laptops. Please read below to learn more about fines.
Understanding Laptop Fixes and Fines
Students are encouraged to report all technology issues as soon as they arise. Technology Services will fix or replace all necessary parts of any computer that are damaged or need support. Students will not be charged any damage for normal wear and tear or issues that arise that are not caused by the student.
Students will be charged for the cost of replacement parts (or 10% of the cost for students with insurance) for any technology issue that is caused by the student (beyond normal wear and tear).
Students who lose or severely damage (vandalize) the computer will receive a fine for the full cost of the computer even if they have laptop insurance. If the damage is caused by another student, please report the incident to the appropriate principal. The principal will investigate and determine who is at fault.
Fines will be sent through the mail. They may be paid in full or in partial payments as needed. Please write any checks out to the Cornwall-Lebanon School District. Payments for fines can be sent to the following address:
