Participating families are required to choose only ONE of the following three liability options:
Insurance Premium Purchase Nonrefundable payment in the amount of $30 made through PaySchools links.pccsk12.com/premium by Tuesday Sept. 8, 2015. Under the terms of the insurance agreement, in the event the device needs to be repaired or replaced due to accidental damage, non/outof warranty issues and theft, an approved claim carries with it a deductible to be paid by the student's family. If the claim is denied, the family is held financially responsible for the full cost of the repair/replacement needed. Student/Parent accept responsibility for any/all deductibles (in the event of device damage, outofwarranty repair or a policereported theft, a deductible of $35 would be paid; in the event of loss without police report and approved claim, a deductible of $100 would be paid). For a general policy overview, please see http://links.pccsk12.com/gocare Please note, for families with more than one student participating in device takehome, there is a sliding scale for insurance premiums. First child full premium ($30), second child 65% premium ($19.50), additional children free. Deductibles are still charged at the same per incident rate as listed above.
Insurance Premium Reduced/Waived due to income eligibility The PCCS Board of Education has endorsed a policy that waives the device insurance premiums for families eligible for free priced meals with the National School Lunch Program, and a reduction of device insurance premiums for families eligible for reduced priced meals with the National School Lunch Program. Student/Parent do however remain responsible to pay the deductible charges listed above in the event of theft, loss or damage. ● If you have been approved for free lunch, there is no action you need to take regarding the insurance premium payment. ● For the 20152016 school year, the insurance premium cost for students eligible for reducedpriced meals is $6 for the family’s first student participant, $3 for the family’s second student participant and free for additional students participating in the program. For participating students that are approved for reduced lunch, please select the appropriate payment option at http://links.pccsk12.com/premium by Tuesday Sept. 8, 2015.
