Chromebook Fees & Payments

All Chromebook-related fees must be paid in-person during the school year. To pay any fee in-person, you can bring either cash or check directly to the annual Chromebook rollout in the summer, or you can bring fees to the school or with your student during the school year. All checks should be made payable to Monroe County Schools.

The technology fee is an annual $35 fee that supports the Monroe County Schools Chromebook Program. This fee supports the programs that each and every student uses to further their education.

 

Students who are enrolled in the Monroe County Virtual School do not have to pay the technology fee. See the "Monroe County School Virtual School Fees" section below for more details.

There are no fees for repairs related to accidental damage. The school determines if damage is accidental or not based on circumstances and investigation. Some factors that are taken into consideration during the investigation include the type of damage, history of breakages, and eyewitness testimonies.

If a Chromebook is damaged intentionally or damaged during misuse, then a repair fee will be applied by the school’s tech lead. The repair fee varies based on the type of damage. If a Chromebook is too damaged to be repaired (such liquid damage), then a full Chromebook replacement fee will be applied instead.

Examples of types of damage includes physical damage, water damage, electrical damage, and cosmetic damage that requires parts to be replaced (such as writing on the Chromebook).

If your child has lost their charger, case, or entire Chromebook, then they must pay a replacement fee. The fees for these are as follows:

 

 

*A total replacement fee includes a replacement Chromebook, charger, and case.

 

Chargers, cases, and Chromebooks MUST be supplied by Monroe County Schools! You cannot submit a replacement charger that was purchased from elsewhere, even if it looks like the same type of charger. Many charges have different voltages and specifications, and to ensure the safety of the student using the Chromebook, we require that all chargers be supplied by the Technology Department.

If your Chromebook has been stolen, then a police report must be filed and a copy must be given to the school within 30 days of the incident to avoid a replacement fee for the Chromebook. 

The school’s tech lead will report all repair & replacement fees as they are submitted. If you are not sure if your student has an outstanding fee, you may reach out to the school to check.

 

A student cannot receive a Chromebook for the year until they have paid the year’s technology fee, and any outstanding fees they may have. A student will not receive a replacement charger or replacement Chromebook until they have paid the resulting fee. Fees roll over from one year to the next - if a student lost a charger, and never paid the replacement charger fee, then the following year they will not receive their Chromebook until they have paid for their replacement charger.
