Frequently Asked Questions

How do I purchase insurance?

• Insurance can be purchased at any time. The cost is $30 for 1 year, $40 for 2 years, and $50 for 3 years. The device will need to be free of any current damage in order to qualify for new insurance. Visit the technology office Monday - Friday between 8:00AM and 3:00PM to purchase insurance.  You can also email us at helpdesk@waylandunion.org and we will contact you to arrange for payment. You can also pay online at our webstore.

What does the insurance policy cover?

• The insurance policy covers unlimited accidental damage and defects.  If it is determined that the damage was intentional, it will not be covered.  Bent iPad frames often are considered a total loss and are often not covered.  These decisions are made by the insurance company, not Wayland Union Schools.
• If there is any evidence that the iPad was removed from its protective case (including excessive damage and/or missing rivets), it will result in a voided insurance policy as well as $100 to repair the damaged device.

How much does a screen cost to replace?
