Device Fees & Optional Insurance
Breakage is very difficult with the new HP devices and an evaluation of the HP device at the CITT is required for a fee assessment. HP breakage will not be automatically waived the first time. Breakage will be charged as per table below.
*BPS student devices belong to Buffalo Public Schools and are provided to students following the guidelines outlined in the
BPS Acceptable Use Policy agreement.
Contact CITT for any fee/insurance questions: Telephone | 716-816-7128
*If you choose not to purchase the optional device insurance, the following terms will apply in the event of accidental damage:
Accidental Breakage
1st repair fee waived for both iPad and Dell laptops, HP laptops must be evaluated prior to fee waiver.
2nd and subsequent repair cost is $25.00
Intentional Breakage
75% replacement fee of the device is $412.00
Device Chargers (Power Cord Replacement)
PLEASE NOTE: Student replacement devices do not come with a replacement charging cord. Without purchased device insurance the replace fee is:
For iPad devices, the replacement cost for a charger is $30.00.
For laptop devices, the replacement cost for a charger is $35.00.
Lost Device
Loss must be reported to the school building immediately so that the IT Department is contacted.
If it is determined that the device was not reported within past 10 days the family will need a police report and $100.00 fee

Greetings! This school year, students will be issued a laptop and charging cord that they will be responsible for. Students will not turn in these laptops daily. The District offers 1 year insurance for the cost of $26. This insurance covers unlimited claims per 1 school year. All lost chargers must be replaced by the student or parent. The insurance does not cover lost or damaged chargers. We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about the importance of taking care of their device. If you have questions please reach out to the school.

Lets go Zay!
14-year-old Zay, a member of the BPS Modified Football team with down syndrome, scored a touchdown during the season opener!!
Zay’s mom Sylvia says he only played for a year when he was around 6 or 7. After watching the first preseason Buffalo Bills game, he got inspired to play again! She found the right fit for him right here at BPS! His teammates helped him to this moment.
A great start to the season 🏈 Watch Video!
