High School District 214

iPad Protection Plan

High School District 214 is providing and administering a required protection plan for students and parents as part of our 1:1 iPad program. The District plan covers “accidental damage” to the device and is designed to limit a family’s financial responsibilities for any damages as described below. The iPad Protection Plan for the school-issued iPad is included in the registration fee. 

Coverage

• Limit Liability: Maximum of 3 damage claims or the replacement of one stolen iPad per school year.
• Accidental Damage: Pays for accidental damage caused by liquid spills, drops, or other unintentional event.
• Theft: Pays for loss due to theft; the claim requires a police report to be filed and a copy submitted to the technology department.
• Fire: Pays for damage of the iPad due to fire; the claim must be accompanied by an official Fire report from the investigating authority.
• Electrical Surge: Pays for damage to the device due to an electrical surge.
• Natural Disasters: Pays for loss or damage caused by natural disasters.
• Theft or damage must be reported within 48 hours.
• If a student graduates early, coverage will terminate on their last day of classes.

Exclusions

• Dishonest, Fraudulent, Intentional, Negligent (such as not locked or stored in an unsecured manner or location) or Criminal Acts: Will not pay if damage or loss occurs in conjunction with a dishonest, fraudulent, intentional, negligent or criminal act. The student/parents will be responsible for the full amount of the repair/replacement.
• iPads that are not kept in the district-approved case will not be covered and student/parents will be charged a minimum of $150 up to the full replacement cost of $584.
• Consumables will not be covered. This includes case, keyboard, stylus, USB charging cable, AC adapter, and software/apps.
• Cosmetic damage that does not affect the functionality of the device. This includes but is not limited to scratches, dents, and broken plastic ports or port covers.
• “Jailbreaking” or otherwise voiding the manufacturer’s warranty by altering the software.
• D214 is not liable for any loss, damage (including incidental, consequential or punitive damages) for expense caused directly or indirectly by the equipment.

The iPad must be kept in the district-approved case for the protection plan to be valid.
Any alternate case must be pre-approved by the building Tech Supervisor. 

Deductible Per Claim

Any additional repair claims after three (3), or theft after one (1), will be charged a minimum of $150 up to full replacement cost.  The deductible/claim is structured annually. Claims from a previous school year are not used in determining the deductible for the current policy year.
