Paying for Damaged or Lost Chromebooks

We understand that accidents happen and Chromebooks are an important tool in today’s education. If your device does happen to get damaged or lost, please follow the steps in our article: Chromebooks - Reporting Damage or Loss. We will exchange your damaged or lost device for a working one to minimize any disruption to your child's learning.

Damage Assessment

Once the device has been brought in as damaged or reported as lost, IUSD staff will determine whether repairs or a replacement of the device is required. If you did not choose to purchase the IUSD Chromebook Insurance and your device is damaged, the cost of the repair will be assessed as a fine to the student’s record in Destiny.

Typical Chromebook Repair Costs (without Insurance)

These fines may vary by model and by the extent of the damage.  You will be notified of the actual cost after the device has been inspected by a technician.

Total Loss

If the Chromebook is damaged beyond repair, lost, stolen, or unreturned to the school, the full replacement value of $225 will be assessed as a fine.

Payment

Payments for lost or damaged devices will be completed completely online through MySchoolBucks.com.  Please do not bring this payment to your school.  You'll need to create a MySchoolBucks account and add in your student.  Once you've linked your student, the fine will show up as an invoice in MySchoolBucks that you can add to your cart and check out.  When your transaction is complete, the fine will be removed automatically from your student's account.
