Several students have had unfortunate accidents at home with their computers. If the screen is "cracked" as a result, the cost is about $780.00 to repair. The cost of the computer if it is totally disabled is about $1,600.00. During the parent trainings, an insurance rider was suggested. Here is some specific information from State Farm Insurance about the rider:
It is a Personal Article Policy at a cost of $30.00. You would qualify for the rider if you have a good claims history (no excessive claims on home or auto) with ANY insurance company, not just State Farm. You can call Fredia Hawthorne at 217.529-4935 for more information.
