District outlines Chromebook 1:1 program, device counts and insurance costs
Summary
Curriculum staff described the district’s 1:1 Chromebook program (K–12), device counts (3,275 devices), device unit cost ($340), repair/supply expenses (~$60,000) and voluntary insurance terms ($20 annual, deductibles for repairs). They also reviewed instructional uses by grade group.
Curriculum staff gave the board an overview of York Suburban’s 1:1 Chromebook program, device lifecycle and how teachers use devices across grade levels.
Presenters described the district’s deployment policy: kindergartners and first graders use classroom devices, students in grade 2 receive a device for use through grade 7, and a replacement device is issued in grade 8 that students use through grade 12 (and may keep under a buyout option if they maintain insurance). Staff reported the district’s official October 1 student count at 2,954 and said the district has 3,275 devices including classroom labs and spare units for repairs.
