Device Insurance

Device insurance is structured around incidents of accidental damage (breakage). Claims follow a tiered payment structure based on the number of occurrences within a single school year:

First Occurrence: $35
Second Occurrence: $50
Third Occurrence: $70

Loss or Theft: In the event of loss or theft, the replacement cost will be based on the fair market value of the device at the time of the incident.

Important Conditions

If a device sustains four instances of breakage within a single school year, the student will lose eligibility for device insurance.
- The responsible party will be required to cover the full cost of repair or replacement.
No payment is required for devices that remain undamaged during student use.
Chargers are NOT covered under the device insurance program.
- Lost chargers can be replaced:
  - Through the Technology Department, or
  - Independently (depending on the Chromebook model)
A charger must be returned with the Chromebook at the end of its lifecycle.
To purchase a replacement charger from the Technology Department, submit a request via email: techsupport@pbsd.net
All replacement costs are determined by the device’s fair market value at the time of replacement.
