Device Repairs

 With the increase of devices (e.g. Chromebooks, laptops) in the FCPS inventory for students and staff, the volume of lost devices and repairs has also increased. FCPS continues to evolve its device repair program to minimize cost recovery from students and staff. Basic technical maintenance and repair of computing devices is a challenge for many schools.

About

Device Repairs

FCPS provides students access to technology to create high impact learning opportunities, allow implementation of educational programs that integrate and support diverse teaching and learning strategies, and stimulate personal growth. Technology use will be routine, transparent, and encourage innovative teaching methods to ensure students’ success. Students are provided access to computers, laptops, Chromebooks, iPads, and hotspots.

Students are responsible for the general care of FCPS devices which they use. Any device that needs repair or fails to work properly must be reported to the technology support staff at the school.  The division does not cover the costs of device repair or replacement needed due to damage, misuse, abuse, neglect, loss or theft. 

According to the FCPS Student Handbook (Loss or Damage to School Board Property, page 35), “Principals will collect fines from the responsible party for the loss or damage of school board property”.

Students participating in the FCPS 1:1 Chromebook initiative have the option to purchase insurance.
