Family-purchased device protection
Parents coverthe device.Your budget doesn’t.
Families pay $39 a year
Parents buy protection for the Chromebook, laptop or tablet their student carries. They enroll with AKKO, they pay AKKO, and AKKO pays for the repair. Your district approves the coverage and decides how firmly it’s offered.
No district cost
No fees to collect
$0 deductible
01 · The starting point
Start with the math you already run.
We won’t tell you what a repair costs your district — you know that better than we do. Three numbers decide whether this is worth fifteen minutes.
Number one
Devices in your fleet
Every take-home Chromebook, laptop and tablet a student is responsible for.
Number two
Damage incidents a year
Screens, hinges, ports, liquid, and the devices that simply never come back.
Number three
What you absorb or chase
Repairs the district eats, plus the fees your office has to bill and collect.
Whatever those three numbers are, every family who buys coverage takes one device out of the third one — and it costs your district nothing to make that available.
Not one dollar of this moves through your general ledger.
Families transact with AKKO, not with the school. Nothing to collect at the front office, nothing to deposit, nothing to reconcile at year end.

02 · See it for yourself
Two screens decide this. Look at both.
One is what a parent sees when they enroll. The other is what your staff sees when a device comes in broken. Those two screens are where this program lives.

Your district gets its own branded page. Families choose coverage, pay AKKO and get their confirmation from us — your office never handles a payment, a refund or a receipt.

Your staff file the claim and hand off the device; Lighthouse tracks every claim, shipment and covered student in one place. Approval, repair or replacement, and payment sit on AKKO’s side of that line.

Three things happen. Your team owns one of them.
STEP 01
You approve the coverage
We scope the plan to your fleet — which perils, which devices, what families pay. You approve the coverage and how the option is offered.
STEP 02
AKKO supplies the rollout
A school-branded enrollment page, flyers, email and text templates, posters and more — written by us in English and Spanish. Your staff sends the agreed messages.
STEP 03
Families enroll with AKKO
Parents enroll and pay AKKO directly, however you choose to present it. No roster to upload, no fee to administer, no payment to reconcile.
We run the enrollment campaign. Your staff writes none of it.
Enrollment tracks to how firmly your district presents the option. We build the materials; your team shares them on the agreed calendar around device distribution and school-year start.
Before devices go home, AKKO delivers a turnkey welcome packet: a school-branded enrollment page with a short link and QR code, a school-specific flyer, parent email and text/SMS blast templates, hallway, cafeteria and front-office posters, optional QR stickers for devices at distribution, social media copy and a school website snippet — all in English and Spanish. We agree on a communication calendar timed to distribution and school-year start, and AKKO staff can join distribution days or open houses on-site.
Announce it
Share the AKKO welcome packet on the agreed dates. The lightest touch, and the lowest take-up.
Put it in registration
Include the coverage choice in registration while families are preparing for device distribution.
Make it required
Coverage as a condition of the take-home program. Some districts do this. Highest enrollment by a wide margin.
We support all three. Which one fits your community is a district decision, and it is the single biggest factor in how much of your damage volume this removes.
04 · Coverage
You decide what’sin the plan.
A 1:1 elementary fleet and a high-school take-home program don’t need the same coverage. Include the perils that match how your devices actually come back broken — the family price moves with it.
Accidental damage
Drops, cracked screens, liquid spills and submersion. The bulk of what your techs already see, and the reason most districts start here.
Theft & loss
The device that never comes back in June, replaced without a district write-off.
Mechanical / electrical breakdown
Hinges, keyboards, batteries and ports that fail without an accident, including electrical failure.
What a family pays
$39/device/year
$39 per device per year. You approve the coverage and final list before a single family sees it. Underwritten by Zurich, an A.M. Best A+ rated carrier when theft and loss are included.

The same broken screen,
three ways.
Most districts already handle breakage one of two ways — bill the family afterward, or absorb it. Neither is wrong. They just put the work and the write-off in different places.

06 · Questions
The questions districts ask first
Paperwork
Because families buy the coverage and the district pays nothing, there is no purchase order, no bid and no contract dollars to route through the board.
Do families have to buy it?
That is your policy call, not ours. On this plan, coverage is always a family purchase from AKKO, never a district charge — but whether you simply offer it, ask for an answer at registration, or require it to take a device home is set by your district. We’ll be straight about what each choice does to enrollment.
Does any of this money touch our books?
No. No district fee, no minimum enrollment, no per-device charge, and nothing for your office to collect, deposit or reconcile. Covered repairs come off your damage-fee volume instead of landing in it.
What does our team actually do?
Your team supports the enrollment push by sending the prepared emails and texts on the agreed dates and allowing posters and flyers in the building. When a covered device comes in, open a claim in Lighthouse and hand off the device. AKKO writes the materials and handles enrollment, billing, parent support and repairs.
What student data do you need?
Families enter their own information when they enroll, so no roster upload is required to launch. In Lighthouse a claim is identified by device serial and asset tag; a student name appears only where your team chooses to assign one.
Can we start with one school?
Yes. A single building or one grade band is a normal way to start — there is no minimum enrollment and no district cost either way, so a pilot risks nothing but a season of data.
Is this insurance?
When the plan includes theft and loss it is insurance, underwritten by Zurich (A.M. Best A+). Either way it doesn’t replace or alter your fee schedule, self-insurance or repair depot — it reduces how often any of them get used.
