PK-5th

Elementary students will have access to the classroom-set of Chromebooks during regular school hours. 

6th-12th

Secondary students will be issued a Chromebook they can bring to school and take home. 

Along with a Chromebook, a student may be issued additional technology accessories to aid in their use such as a charging cable, charging base, a case, etc. 

What happens if a device is damaged? 

If a device requires a repair or is inoperable, it is our goal to get a functioning replacement in the hands of a student as quickly as possible. District campuses will individually assess the cause of the damage and report their findings to the Technology Department in the form of a ticket. The campus will be supplied with replacement units and determine if a student is eligible for an immediate swap. 

Damaged Device Information

Elementary Campuses 

• Each room has a set number of devices that are labeled with the assigned student’s name. 

• The classroom teacher is responsible for reporting any damages and reason for the damage to Campus Chromebook Coordinators. 

• Due to the type of damage and each situation the campus may assign a device damage fee to a student that has repeatedly or intentionally damaged district property. 

Middle & High School Campuses

Protection / Insurance Plans

Please note that the protection plan covers only one Chromebook per student annually for secondary students only.

Birdville ISD offers an optional protection program that reduces the cost of Chromebook repair and replacement by 50% per year.

Free and reduced students are automatically enrolled, and non-free and reduced students can enroll for $25 (not to exceed $50 total for families with 3 or more students enrolled in the district). If the student does not enroll, the student is responsible for the full price of repair costs.

Birdville ISD does not cover the loss of the Chromebook and/or its accessories, cosmetic damage, or damage caused by intentional misuse and/or abuse. Students will be held responsible for the full cost of intentional damage to their device. This includes breaking any part of the device, charger, or case.

Repair Costs

Repair costs apply only to secondary students. Parents or students must pay the repair fees through RevTrak, the District’s online payment system. To do so, please click on the Student Chromebook tab, complete the required information, and submit the appropriate payment.

Reporting Lost or Stolen Devices

Lost  

If a student loses a district issued device, it must be reported immediately to a campus administrator. The district will track how many devices a student has been issued and if it is determined that the student has not had a prior issue with stolen or damaged devices, a replacement will be issued by the campus.  

If the student has a record of damaged or lost devices due to negligence, a fee may be required to issue a replacement. 

Fees & Payment 

If any fees or payments are involved with a lost or stolen device, the campus will arrange for repair and replacement collections. 

To purchase insurance, or for a replacement, please visit RekTrak:| Birdville ISD (revtrak.net)

Stolen Devices

Stolen devices must be reported immediately to local law enforcement and a police report number should be obtained. The incident should be reported to the campus along with a police report number for the district to disable the device and clear the student of responsibility. 
 

Replacement for theft of the device will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and will be at the discretion of the campus principal and/or district administration.

In Birdville ISD, we believe in providing students the opportunity to learn anytime, anywhere, and at any pace while developing future-ready skills. BISD students in grades 6th through 12th will be assigned a district-owned Chromebook to use at home and school. For a device to be issued to a student, the district's  Birdville ISD Responsible Use Guidelines and Secondary Parent and Student Equipment Use Agreement must be agreed to during enrollment. The student is responsible for any fees associated with a lost or damaged device. 

To offset this cost, parents/guardians have the option to purchase an annual protection plan each school year for $25 for a single student or $50 for two or more students. Students on the free and reduced lunch program will be automatically enrolled in the protection plan. If you feel you should receive this enrollment, please contact your campus administrator. 

To purchase the protection plan, visit BISD's online payment portal (Revtrack). Please click on the Student Chromebook tab, complete the required information, and submit the appropriate payment.
