    Chromebook Repair, Costs, and Obligation Procedures

    Each student is financially responsible for damage caused or any loss of Chromebook or charger that is checked out to the student. The device is loaned to the student to be used for instructional purposes only and in accordance with MCPS IGT-RA, User Responsibilities for Computer Systems, Electronic Information, and Network Security. No cost is associated for a student to borrow, possess, or use a Chromebook. A family is only financially responsible when there is avoidable damage to the device.
