Chromebook Protection*
Grand Blanc Community Schools provides a Chromebook protection program for all 3rd graders and up and all Bobcat Innovation students*.   Chromebook protection covers accidental damage to a device, and in some instances, device theft.  Please refer to the Optional Accidental Damage Device Protection section of the 1:1 Device Handbook for complete coverage information.  Lost items, including power charges/cables, and intentional damage instances are not covered under the protection program.
 Chromebook protection is an annual purchase and available for all 3rd-12th grade students and all Bobcat Innovation students who are assigned a district Chromebook*.  Insurance is valid from the date purchased through August 31 of the following year (i.e. insurance purchased on 9/3 would be valid through 8/31 of the following school year). The purchasing window is normally from early August through the 4th Thursday of September.  

*Chromebook protection is the new name for Chromebook insurance.  The product/process will continue to work the same way as prior years

**Only students in 3rd grade and up are assigned district Chromebooks that they can take home; K-2 devices will stay in classrooms. All Bobcat Innovation students, including K-2, will be assigned a take-home device.
