Let’s face it—school-issued devices are more essential than ever, but they’re also taking a beating like never before. And with ESSER funds drying up, budgets are tighter than ever. So, what’s the plan when devices break, get lost, or worse?

That’s where a solid device insurance program comes in to save the day.

The Reality: More Devices, More Damage

Schools have invested heavily in technology, putting devices in the hands of nearly every student. But here’s the problem—accidents happen. Whether it’s a cracked screen, a lost tablet, or a waterlogged laptop, the cost of repairs and replacements keeps climbing every year. Without a safety net, those expenses can pile up fast.

No More ESSER Funds? No Problem.

With federal ESSER funding ending, many schools are left wondering how to keep their technology programs running without breaking the bank. A device insurance program helps fill the gap by providing an affordable way to cover repairs and replacements, protecting both school budgets and student learning.

Why Device Insurance Is a Smart Move

Device insurance isn’t just about protecting hardware—it’s about peace of mind for schools, students, and parents.

Here’s why schools love it:

Budget Protection – No more scrambling to cover unexpected repair costs. Instead, plan ahead with predictable, manageable premiums.
Less Downtime – Quick repairs and replacements keep students on track. Bonus: Loaner devices are covered, too.
Happy Parents – Families feel more secure knowing their child’s device is protected.

Why Now Is the Right Time

The need for reliable, affordable device protection is only growing. As schools rely more on technology to support learning, having a plan in place ensures that lost or broken devices don’t derail progress. Plus, with repair costs rising, the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets.
