Do I need to contact my insurance company to
let them know that I now have a District 21
laptop?
We would not discourage any staff member from contacting her or his insurance company. The language used in the Staff Laptop Policy is consistent with past practice in District 21 regarding laptop checkout. It is also consistent with the language used in numerous other area school districts. While we have only had a small amount of experience with lost or stolen laptops up until this point, we have seen personal homeowners/renters insurance used to reimburse the value of the laptop. Finally, in the event that a staff member does need to utilize her or his insurance to provide reimbursement for the laptop, the District will provide a proof of the model and value of the laptop assigned to the staff member.
