The Insurance Protection Fund (IPF) covers bonafide accidental damage to the Chromebook, as determined by the district. If a student accidentally damages either of these, the parent may choose to use the insurance plan to cover the cost of repair/replacement. If the cost is minimal, the parent may choose to pay for the damage, and save the insurance for a major accident.
