Technology Protection Plans
Students will be expected to bring/have a device/laptop at school every day. The device/laptop must be charged and ready to use for classroom learning. Snohomish School District will provide laptops for all students. When students receive a district device/laptop at the start of the school year, the student will also receive information about the Technology Protection Plan.
Due to the high replacement cost of a device/laptop, the option of purchasing a Technology Protection Plan can help offset costs in the event a device/laptop is damaged, lost or stolen. See plan for specific coverage.
The standard enrollment fee for the Technology Protection Plan is $30. (Students eligible for the free/reduced meal program will have their enrollment fee waived. Students must fill out a free/reduced meal application and be approved.)
Plan enrollment fees must be paid at the time of opting in to activate the protection plan. For example:
- The cost to repair a shattered, broken or cracked screen is $150 (or $25 with Technology Protection Plan coverage).
- The cost to repair damage caused by liquids will be $150 (or $50 with Technology Protection Plan coverage).
- The cost after loss or theft will be cost of replacement (or $25+ with Technology Protection Plan coverage).
- The replacement cost of a district laptop is $300.
- The replacement cost of a charging cord is $25.
