Chromebook Insurance Policy
Purchase Chromebook Insurance by October 7
We strongly recommend purchasing chromebook insurance, as the cost to insure is $35 and it covers the device for one year. By contrast, the cost to replace a broken chromebook is $428 and if the screen cracks, it can be over $150 to repair. To purchase insurance please visit: https://gpo.worthavegroup.com/gpo/bisd303.
