NEW BPS Device Protection Program
August 27, 2026
$50 protects your student’s device for the school year with no deductible. Without coverage, a single repair or replacement may cost $50–$420.
Dear Parent or Guardian,
Bedford Public Schools is introducing a new voluntary device protection program for school-issued Chromebooks and iPads used by students in Grades 6–12 beginning with the 2026–2027 school year.
For $50 per student, families who enroll receive $0-deductible coverage for damage, theft, loss, and hardware or battery failure. The program is designed to provide families with predictable protection from potentially significant repair or replacement costs while helping ensure students always have access to a working device.
Families who purchased individual insurance in a multi-year plan from Worth Ave (the district's former insurance partner) will still have that insurance honored.
Enroll Now for $50
Families may enroll using the link below. Families who need financial assistance may also request a confidential fee waiver through the same link using our streamlined process. Automatic waivers are processed for families using state services or MassHealth.
Why Consider Enrolling?
Without device protection, families remain responsible and will be invoiced for the cost of damage, loss, or theft of a school-issued device. Depending on the repair needed, those costs can range from $50 to $420.
What the $50 Device Protection Program Covers
Damage, including cracked screens and liquid spills
Theft or loss
Hardware and battery failure
The BPS Technology Department will handle all repairs and replacements directly, helping ensure that students have continued access to a working device tech_support@bedfordps.org

If You Choose Not to Enroll

Families who do not enroll will continue to be financially responsible for damage, loss, or theft of their student’s district-issued device and will be invoiced according to the repair fees referenced below. Beginning this year, outside or individually purchased device insurance plans will not be accepted in place of the district program.
