Tech Usage Fee 2026-2027

Posted Date: 07/27/26 (10:30 AM)


The Technology Usage Fee Program helps protect families from unexpected repair costs due to accidental damage during the school year.
For  students, the program works as follows:

  • First accidental breakage: A $25 annual usage fee covers the cost of the first accidental repair.
  • Second accidental breakage: After the first claim is resolved, families may purchase a second usage fee for $50, which covers a second accidental repair during the same academic year.
  • Additional breakage: After the second covered incident, families are responsible for all repair or replacement costs.
If a student has not enrolled in the Usage Fee Program before an accidental breakage occurs, the family is responsible for the full repair or replacement cost of the Chromebook.

Please note: The Usage Fee Program covers accidental damage only. It does not cover damage resulting from vandalism, abuse, or misuse.
