Does your school distribute laptops, Chromebooks, iPads or other tablets or electronic devices to students, teachers or staff?At Worth Ave. Group, we understand the position that you, the K-12 school administrator, faces over classroom technology. Our times demand that your classrooms offer the iPads or tablet PC's so that students can stay on par with their peers in other schools. But you must weigh the costs that come with implementing a K-12 student iPad or tablet program:
• The cost of the devices and software curriculum to your school district,
• The cost of insuring the devices for damages and securing repairs to the damaged devices.
While the former risk is yours alone, the latter you share with the parents of your K-12 students.
How can a K-12 administrator come up with an insurance plan that is affordable/equitable to the parents who can least afford it?Worth Ave. Group offers insurance policies and extended service plans which provide replacement cost coverage anywhere in the world. We cover all computer related devices such as laptops (including MacBooks), iPads, Tablets, Netbooks, Smartbooks, Chromebooks and E-Readers issued to K-12 students, teachers, staff, and administrators. Whether your program is a full One-to-One Initiative or a BYOD (Bring your own device) model, we have options to protect devices used in either scenario.
• We assist One to One schools in the process of setting up both school group device insurance plans and individual student device insurance programs.
• If a K-12 school wants to deliver an insurance program to its parents, teachers and staff for their school-issued devices; Worth Ave. Group can be that one-stop resource.
• We adapt our application form to the particular device that your school issues.
• We create a custom portal page to link or integrate with your school website to provide a simple way for students' parents to apply for coverage.
• We offer options like plan durations of one to four years and deductibles ranging from $0 to $100.
Self-funding your K-12 school iPad or tablet device insurance program? Let us help!
Worth Ave. Group insurance doesn't have to replace a self-funded insurance program. It provides you with the opportunity to allow the parents of the students to share the risk at a low monthly premium they can afford. Rather than asking parents for a lump sum at the beginning of your school year when they can least afford it, ask them for a small monthly premium for an individual policy covering the device for their respective child's school device. The school saves on every device we insure, and the parents save by paying a small amount of premium instead of a large lump sum for a repair.

What's the difference between warranty and insurance?
(click to expand)
A warranty is intended to cover manufacturing defects in the device and is essentially a guarantee that the product has been made correctly. Insurance normally covers such things as: accidental damage, malicious damage, loss and theft, and unauthorized usage. Worth Ave Group is an insurance company that covers all of the accidental damage and mishaps that may occur with the district provided devices.
