Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI)
MacBook Laptop Coverage
Each student in grades 7 through 12 will be issued a State owned MLTI
MacBook. This laptop will enhance students' learning as technology is
integrated into classroom instruction to help students learn “hard to
teach” concepts, practice skills needed for academic success, provide
the most current research and information and help your child learn 21st
century skills. Students will bring the MLTI MacBook home to continue
work on class assignments, complete homework, and work on projects.
MSAD 75 offers MLTI MacBook Coverage. You may elect to purchase this Coverage for your student’s MacBook.
For a one time yearly fee the Coverage covers accidental
damage that occurs outside of school. Coverage details include:
Property covered: Apple MacBookAir, charger, extension cord, and case
Cost of overage: see table below
Deductible: $50.00 per incident
*Once a maximum combined damage of $500.00 has been reached the deductible will increase to $100.00 per incident.

Equipment covered:

Please
note: Wanton and willful destruction or negligence is not covered.
Food, drinks, and liquids must not be near the laptop. Damage from food,
drink or liquids will be considered negligence. All damage incidents
deemed negligence result in students being billed the entire repair
charge, or the cost of laptop replacement, if less expensive. The
current MacBook Air replacement cost is $699.00.
This Coverage has limitations. Issues of theft, loss or intentional
damage will be referred to administrators and possibly the police for
investigation. In these instances the level of coverage will be
determined on a case-by-case basis.

Laptop Coverage can be paid online, in the ‘Payment’ section of the
Infinite Campus Parent Portal. You can also send a payment to school
with your child, but we urge you to use the online payment. Payments
delivered to school should be turned in to the Main Office. Checks
should be made out to MSAD 75.
Laptops
will be deployed to seventh and eighth graders at the beginning of the school year. If they complete the following steps below, eighth graders will be allowed to bring them home in mid September, and 7th graders at the end of September. To ensure that your student
receives a laptop on that day, each student must:
1. Return this completed form indicating whether electing to purchase, or declining coverage.
2. Pay any outstanding fees or fines, or make arrangements for a payment
plan. (All payment plans must be arranged with school administration.)
Students
and parents should complete these steps before 2 PM on their assigned
take home date, or they will NOT be allowed to their laptop home. Any outstanding
form or fee issues remaining at the start of school-year will
delay the issuing of a laptop to a student.
Please
Note: Payment for the coverage can be made when you submit this form,
but is not due until the beginning of October. Any coverage payments not received
by the due date will result in a cancelation of coverage.
Forms for Laptop Coverage can be downloaded during the summer and
filled out. During August, forms and/or payments may be dropped off in
the main office at the high school and middle school or payment can be
made online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Once school
begins, your child(ren) may return the Coverage Form to the
Main Office.
Each student MUST return this Take Home Coverage Form completed and signed by a parent.
