Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI)
MacBook Laptop Coverage
Each student in grades 7 through 12 will be issued a State owned MLTI
MacBook. This laptop will enhance students' learning as technology is
integrated into classroom instruction to help students learn “hard to
teach” concepts, practice skills needed for academic success, provide
the most current research and information and help your child learn 21st
century skills. Students may bring the MLTI MacBook home to continue
work on class assignments, complete homework, and work on projects if parents choose to "Opt-In" to our Take Home Process.
MSAD 75 offers MLTI MacBookAir Laptop Coverage. You may elect to purchase this Laptop Coverage for your student’s MacBook.
For a one time yearly fee the Coverage covers accidental
damage that occurs both inside and outside of school.
Laptop Coverage Form
We cannot stress enough that whether you are taking coverage or not, whether you are opting to take the laptop home or not we must have the coverage form signed and returned to the school by September 23rd.
If you wish to have the coverage, but are not prepared to pay the premium at this time, you must still return the form by the 23rd. You will be billed later for the premium in infinite campus. If you do not wish to have coverage and wish to pay for repairs to the device on your own, you too must also return the form by September 23. Why is this important? Because students will not be able to use their laptops if forms are not returned by that date. In fact, the device will be taken back from students who do not return their forms and they will not be allowed to use the device until their form has been signed and turned into the school.
If you have billing questions, or there is some sort of financial hardship in your home, you should contact Mrs. Hayes-Teague or Dr. Otto.

Laptop Coverage has limitations. Issues of theft, loss or intentional
damage will be referred to administrators and possibly the police for
investigation. In these instances the level of coverage will be
determined on a case-by-case basis.
MLTI
Laptop Coverage can be paid online, in the ‘Payment’ section of the
Infinite Campus Parent Portal. You can also send a payment to school
with your child, but we urge you to use the online payment. Payments
delivered to school should be turned in to the Main Office. Checks
should be made out to MSAD 75.
Laptops
will be deployed to seventh and eighth graders in the first days of the school year. Parents will have the option Opt-In our new Take Home Process. Parents will now decide if their student needs to bring the device home. If doing so does not work for their student/family, then they may decide that the laptop needs to stay at school.
Please
Note: Payment for the coverage can be made when you submit this form,
but is not due until the beginning of October. Any coverage payments not received
by that announced date will result in a cancelation of coverage.
Forms for Laptop Coverage can be downloaded during the summer and
filled out. During August, forms and/or payments may be dropped off in
the main office at the high school and middle school or payment can be
made online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Once school
begins your child(ren) may return the Laptop Coverage Form to the
Main Office.
Each student MUST return this Laptop Coverage Form completed and signed by a parent.
