Damaged device policy change
Starting this year, SMSD will be distancing itself from Worth insurance and implementing a new program for damaged devices. Laptops will no longer be insured through Worth which changed the district’s policy on damaged devices. Damaged devices will be repaired exclusively by district staff in partnership with Apple in order to keep repair time to a minimum and cost down. Along with this new policy, the district handed out new protective cases with the devices to increase protection.
The new damaged Macbook Air policy is as follows:
- 1st Damaged Device: $100.00
- 2nd Damaged Device: $150.00
- 3rd and Subsequent Device Damage: Actual cost of
repair/replacement or $300.00 whichever is greater.
- Accessories and parts that do not carry a warranty are
charged at actual replacement cost.
- Stolen Device: Proof of being stolen, such as a filed police
report, must be provided to prevent being charged the replacement cost of the device. A damaged device fee may still be incurred. If proof of theft cannot be supplied the student will incur the full replacement cost of the device.
- Lost Device: A lost device will incur the replacement cost of the device.
