In accordance with District goals aligned with the success of our students, Collinsville Public Schools will assign a Chromebook to each 5th-12th Grade Student in the district.  Each Chromebook will remain the property of the school, and is for use by the student until the end of the current school year, at which time the Chromebook will be returned in working condition to the school.  

This initiative seeks to:

• Enhance teaching and learning
• Ensure equitable access to instructional technology
• Improve student outcomes through the 4 C’s:
  • Creativity and Innovation
  • Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving
  • Communication
  • Collaboration

In order to benefit from the use of this device, and to ensure the device is used in a safe, efficient and ethical manner, all students and their parents are required to review and sign this document before receiving a Chromebook.

Terms

The district has provided the student with a Chromebook for educational purposes for the current school year.  The student’s right of possession and use is limited to educational purposes and must comply with all District policies and procedures. The school district is the owner of the device and is entitled to claim possession of the device at any time the administration deems appropriate. 

The school district reserves the right to use tracking and other anti-theft software on the Chromebook to protect its ownership interests in the device.

Financial Responsibility Section

Student/parent agree to be financially responsible for loss or damage to the device (except as noted above) in accordance with the following schedules:

Screen	$50.00
Keyboard	$65.00
Charging Cord	$30.00
Battery	$40.00
LCD Bezel/Bottom or Top Frame housing	$30.00
Hinge	$15.00
Protective Case	$25.00
Motherboard	$150.00
Other (As determined by the District's IT department)	$TBD
Total Loss of Unit (Chromebook, charger, & Case)	$300.00

I understand that the student is expected to:

• Take reasonable steps to ensure that the Chromebook is not damaged or stolen.
• Keep the Chromebook in the case supplied by the District at all times.
• Leave all CPS labeling in place and in its original condition.
• Bring the Chromebook to school in its protective case and fully charged every day.
• Use the Chromebook at school and at home in a responsible manner.
• Download free apps and extensions from the Chrome Web Store to help with educational activities.

I understand that the parent/guardian is expected to:

• Ensure my child meets the expectations of the CPS Chromebook Device initiative as outlined in the Chromebook Device Policy.
• Supervise and monitor my child’s use of the Chromebook away from school.
• Pay the cost of repairing or replacing the Chromebook should the device be damaged, lost or stolen or if the student leaves Collinsville Public Schools without returning the Chromebook.  This cost may be mitigated if I choose to participate in the CPS Chromebook Protection Plan.

I acknowledge that I have reviewed the CPS Chromebook Device Policy, which details the instructional goals, implementation policies, and the care of the Chromebook.  I further understand that Collinsville Public Schools will NOT issue a device to a student until his/her parent/guardian has signed this agreement. My signature below confirms I have read the foregoing agreement and agree to be bound by the terms of the agreement, including the financial terms outlined above and that my student has permission to receive this equipment. 

The Collinsville Public Schools Chromebook Protection Plan (CPP) has been established to give parents and students the ability to purchase a protection plan for the Chromebook 1:1 package.  The 2025-2026 Chromebook Package for 5th-12th grade students consists of a Chromebook, charger with cord, and protective carrying case which is valued at $300.  This ANNUAL protection plan, if purchased, will cover part or all of the repair or replacement costs related to damage to the Chromebook.

The cost and coverage of the plan is as follows:

• $30 per student taking devices home if paid by debit or credit card using the online service or $35 per student if paid by cash or check.
• If any malicious or negligent damage occurs, the full cost of repair or replacement is the responsibility of the student and/or parent/guardian.
• Exact repair/replacement costs will be determined at the time of repair.
• Acts of intentional damage, liquid damage, or signs that the Chromebook was not regularly carried and used in the district-issued case will forfeit protection plan coverage. Only damaged Chromebooks presented in their original district-issued case will be covered by this protection plan.
• Lost or stolen Chromebook WILL NOT BE covered under the protection plan.
• The protection plan will cover half the cost of a lost or stolen charger or protective case.
• If no plan is purchased, the parent/guardian/student is responsible for the full cost of replacement or repair of damage for the Chromebook, charger with cord, and protective carrying case.

This is a voluntary ANNUAL protection plan, and families are strongly encouraged but not required to participate. If the protection plan is not purchased at the time of device acceptance, parents/guardians are responsible for the full cost of any repair/replacement of all damage to the Chromebook, charger with cord, and required carrying case. The Protection Plan must be purchased BEFORE the student takes possession of the Chromebook package. Once a student has been issued a Chromebook package, the protection plan will NOT be issued again until the subsequent school year.

Keep in mind, according to the Electronic Device Agreement, parents/guardians/students are responsible for the full cost of any repair or replacement consequent from any damage to or loss of the Chromebook, charger with cord, and/or case if the protection plan is not purchased at the time of device issuance.

Protection Plan Coverage:

If purchased, the CPP covers 100% of the FIRST incident of damage to the Chromebook and 50% of the SECOND incident of damage to the Chromebook from date of issue until but not including the first day of school in August 2026 (The protection plan expires the day before school begins in 2026).  After two incidents, the parent/guardian is responsible for ALL repairs and replacement costs.  Exact repair/replacement costs will be determined at the time of the repair.  This coverage only applies to each current school calendar year. The protection plan will ONLY cover HALF the cost of a lost or stolen charger/protective case.  Lost or stolen Chromebooks will not be covered under the Protection Plan.

CHROMEBOOK PROTECTION PLAN REFUNDS POLICY

If a student leaves the district and the Chromebook, charger with cord, and case are returned in original condition before the sixth day of classes in the new academic year, a refund can be issued.  After the fifth school day of the new academic year, there will be no refunds, full or pro-rated, for students leaving the district, even for those who enroll after that date and soon withdraw.  However, if they return to the district later that same academic year, their non-refunded protection plan remains in effect.  New students enrolling in the district after April 1st, 2026 that have purchased the protection plan, but did not use it, will be able to transfer the plan to the following school year.

There are no refunds for students who remain in the district; their protection plan remains enforced until the first day of the next school year unless they graduate or leave the district.  Within five days of graduating or leaving the district, the Chromebook, charger with cord, and case must be returned intact in a fully usable condition to avoid financial charges in the amounts shown on the annual protection plan handout. Failure to do so will result in the submission of a police report.
