Damaged Chromebook
● If a student’s device is damaged, the student is responsible for the cost of repair. While a device is
being repaired the student will be provided another device to continue the learning process.
● The rented device is the property of the school within the Crown Point Community School
Corporation. Therefore, the device must be repaired by Crown Point technology staff.
During the school year
During the school year Chromebooks assigned to a student that incur minor chips, cracks, and small
dents to the case and continues to be fully functional are not sent in for repair. Damage more severe
such as, missing keys, damaged screen, large cracks in the cover or bezel, or loss of functionality, must be
repaired immediately and the cost of parts charged to the parents. Large cracks in the case are defined
as anything big enough to allow damage to the circuit board or screen.
At the end of the school year
● For grades 5 and 8, the student’s Chromebook will be assessed for damage and refurbished, if
necessary. The charge to refurbish will be incurred by the parent.
The refurbished Chromebook will be rented to another student the next school year at the school.
Note: This ensures that the next recipient receives it in good condition and eliminates the possibility
of paying for damage by an earlier user.
● At the end of the 1st grade the student touchscreen Chromebook will be assessed for damage and
refurbished, if necessary. The charge to refurbish will be incurred by the parent.
The refurbished touchscreen Chromebook will be rented to new kindergarten student the next
school year at the school.
This ensures that the next recipient receives it in good condition and eliminates the possibility of
paying for damage by an earlier user.
● For students being assigned the same computer the following year, minor damage will not be
repaired at the end of the school year.
Withdrawals during the school year
Upon student withdrawal from a school the student’s device will be assessed for damage and
refurbished, if necessary. The charge to refurbish will be incurred by the parent. This includes a student
who moves to another Crown Point school or withdraws from the corporation.
This ensures that the next recipient receives it in good condition and eliminates the possibility of paying
for damage by an earlier user.
