Technology Fee Program

Penn Hills School District’s optional Annual Tech Fee Program is a yearly $15 non-refundable fee, which eliminates and reduces future repair and replacement costs of the district-owned device. (Please note: The Annual Tech Fee Program does NOT cover devices that are lost or stolen.)

If you are enrolled in the Annual Tech Fee Program and your child breaks or damages an iPad or Chromebook, the following fees will be charged:

Repair/Replacement #1 No cost to the family
Repair/Replacement #2 $25 cost to the family
Repair/Replacement #3 Full cost of the device or repair

If parents/guardians do NOT participate in the Annual Tech Fee Program, the full cost of all repairs and replacements will be charged to the family. Repair costs range from $200 to the full replacement cost of the device.

Damages to a student's device found to be the result of intentional damage or willful neglect will result in the student's parent/guardian being billed for the full replacement cost of the device, regardless of participation in the district's tech fee program.

Enrollment Period

During the first three weeks of school, families may enroll in the Annual Technology Fee program at any time. Families who have not paid the optional fee by the third week of school will be regarded to have opted out. 

The family has three weeks after a student registers in the district to enroll in the program. Families who have not paid the optional fee after three weeks of enrollment will be considered to have opted out.

For your convenience an online enrollment form can be found at the bottom of this webpage.
