If you have questions about what your student has checked out, the best way to reach me is by e-mail: leighty.barbara@westada.org

Costs for Damaged, Lost, or Stolen Equipment
Students will be held responsible for ALL damage or loss to their device, device charger, Hotspot resulting from negligence or misuse. This includes but not limited to broken screens, cracked pieces, damaged/removed keys, damaged mouse and inoperability, etc. In the event of damage not covered by the warranty, the student and parent will be billed for the cost of repairs. Repairs must be made by the West Ada School District Technology Department. The student may check out a loaner device until repairs are made (unless damage is due to gross negligence, intentional destruction, or willful misconduct – the administration will then determine device use for the student).

West Ada School District offers an “Optional Device Protection Plan.” The cost of the optional insurance is $25 for 1 year of coverage and can be renewed each year. This $25 cost covers one (1) claim per year for accidental damage, loss, or theft. Subsequent claims may be filed with school administration and will incur a $20 deductible. Negligence, gross negligence or purposeful damage, failure to file a police report for lost or stolen devices, and the loss/damage of accessories (charger, charging cable, case, and optional stylus) and intentional damage to someone else’s device are NOT covered by this insurance. When necessary, a loaner device can be checked out while repairs are being completed.
