Oak Grove School District 68 Device Insurance

This year, Oak Grove is piloting a partnership with an insurance provider to minimize families’ risks for device repair costs.

Oak Grove’s current practice is to split the expense of the device repair with families and the district will also reimburse the family their annual technology fee – $25 for iPad or $50 for MacBook. Depending on the repair, current costs to the family range between $200-$400, or greater for subsequent damages. In line with past practice and policy, accidental damages are the responsibility of the family. SEE BLOW FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Enrollment Deadline: September 24, 2023  •  Coverage Start Date: August 20, 2023

Starting this school year, families can insure each student's device at the cost of $21 for an iPad and $36 for a MacBook. This annual insurance premium will cover damage under each of the circumstances shown below and there is no deductible!

Coverage will cover the period of August 20, 2023, through August 19, 2024. The window to purchase insurance will stay open until Sunday, September 24, 2023.  

Once coverage is purchased directly from the vendor, all communications, shipments for repairs, and loaners will be handled for you by OGS technology staff. The purchasing link (https://gpo.worthavegroup.com/ogschool) will remain open until Sunday, September 24, 2023.

This insurance offering is meant to alleviate the unplanned financial burden on families in the event of device damage. If a family does not opt to purchase the insurance during this pilot year, costs of damages will be assessed according to current OGS practice. This spring, OGS administration will evaluate the partnership with the insurance carrier and families’ experience in the pilot program to determine future practices.
