The following table outlines costs to families for our laptop insurance. Reduced rates are available to families receiving Free or Reduced Lunch and for families with 2 or more children attending the high school.

Regular Rate | $50 | $25 | $25 | |
Free or Reduced Lunch | $25 | $25 | $25 |
*A family with three children attending the high school would need to pay $100 at the regular rate to insure three laptops. A family receiving free or reduced lunch with two children attending the high school would need to pay $50 for two laptops.

Paying online via e-funds before the open house will ensure a smooth and quick pickup of technology. It is recommended that families pay with e-funds to avoid waiting in a line.
We encourage students to take their school-issued laptop home to continue learning anywhere, anytime. However, before allowing a laptop to leave school, we do require families to purchase an annual insurance policy covering the laptop against theft or accidental damage while the laptop is in the student’s possession.

On the back of this page is a cost chart and form that families can fill out and return to school to purchase insurance for their child’s laptop at a low cost. We strongly recommend that families purchase this insurance as it provides repair and replacement cost coverage for theft and accidental damage worldwide.
Meridian Public Schools will be the sole policyholder for the insurance purchased to cover school‐issued laptops. This allows us to offer better insurance rates, take care of all repair and replacement requests “in house”, and keep accurate records on who is insured and when policies expire.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Meridian Early College High School at 989-687-3300.
