See the Student Chromebook Information Sheet for helpful tips for using a Chromebook.

The LCS-ONE Protection Plan is an optional accidental damage protection plan for student-issued Chromebooks and tablets. The cost of the plan is $50 per school year, payable within 30 days from the start of school. Payments can be made to Lynchburg City Schools, via MySchoolBucks or at the student’s school. This is a yearly opt-in protection plan and can be applied only once per school year.

The LCS-ONE Protection Plan covers accidental damage, not intentional damage, to the equipment. If LCS determines the equipment was intentionally damaged, the student or parent/guardian is responsible for 100% of the repair or replacement cost, whichever is less. The estimated replacement cost for a lost, stolen, or damaged device is up to $520, subject to change. This plan is available to the families of any student who is assigned an LCS device (grades 6-12), whether the device is taken home or remains at school. The plan can be used at the discretion of the parent/guardian, but is not transferable to another student.

If a student damages 2 or more devices in a school year, the student’s device will be locked and they will need to return it to the library/media center. The device will remain locked until all Chromebook obligations are paid in full.

The plan does not cover the Chromebook charger. Students are responsible for replacing their charger if it is lost or stolen. If your student has lost the charger issued to them, a replacement charger can be purchased at the cost of the item by contacting your child’s school.

Alternatively, families may wish to obtain property insurance at their own expense, for the protection of the equipment. Failure of the student and/or parent/guardian to participate in the LCS plan or to obtain property insurance, will not relieve them of liability.
