Bradford Prep’s 1:1 Technology Program in Grades 3-12

Students are expected to take excellent care of the equipment. Physical damages to the device will be charged back to the student and parent.  The charges below will be billed to the parent for damage to the device that is above and beyond minor issues.  Students may also face disciplinary consequences if the damage was caused by their negligence. Regardless of whether the student believes they are responsible for the breakage, the parent will be responsible for the cost to return the device to its original state. Students are ultimately responsible for returning the same iPad and case/keyboard (devices all have serial numbers and are issued per student at the beginning of the year) at the end of the year.  Suggesting that another student may have taken it or broken it does not negate the need to pay for the repair/replacement.  The case and the iPad are the property of the school and should be treated as such.  Cases may not be drawn on with pen or marker or have stickers placed on them.  If a device is damaged, the school will try and repair it as able, however the newer versions of iPads do often require repairs from an outside vendor.  If the school repairs the device, the estimated costs are below:

 Estimated Cost per Repair (includes parts, labor, and tax)

• Broken Screen:  $110
• Broken keyboard or keys missing: $90
• Broken bottom/side of rugged case: $90
• Broken LCD: $190
• Missing case: $90
• A replacement fee will be charged if the device is lost or stolen. The replacement cost for a lost or stolen device is $429.

* Please Note: Depending upon the extent of the damage, the parent may be asked to have it repaired at Apple at their own expense.

 All outstanding fees must be paid prior to students attending any school events, field trips and overnight trips including Graduation.

 iPad Collection at the End of the School Year

All devices must be returned to the school at the end of each school year.  Cases and iPads will be examined for potential damage and students/parents will be expected to pay for any repairs needed.  Students must follow the directions issued at the end of each year and devices must be returned during the times indicated in parent and student communications at the end of the year.  Failure to return the device during the scheduled times to the correct location will result in a $50 charge.  Missing devices will be charged at the full price.
