Arlington Heights Elementary District 25 students will be able to take home Chromebooks next year, and they get to pay to do so. Actually, it's a lower fee than we've seen elsewhere, but let's break it down:
$15 per year for insurance
$25 deductible on a broken device
Let's say that in three years, your child breaks the device's screen once. That's $45 + $25 = $70. A new screen repair is probably more than that, so it works. If nothing happens, it's just $45.
Insurance works. So do Cranium Chromebook Protectors. For about $15, the flexible screens are protected. Find them on Amazon or contact us. $70 is a lot to pay on a $200 device.
Why not ask the district to order Craniums for everyone?
