Any student checking out a laptop must purchase a non-refundable $25 insurance policy covering theft or vandalism. The policy carries a $100 deductible. If the laptop is stolen or vandalized, the insurance will cover all but a $100 deductible, providing that a police report is filed on the incident.

Purchasing Insurance:
The insurance policy will cover all checkout for this school year. The policy may be purchased in the Media Center.

(Current replacement value of the laptop model is $1600.)
