1:1 Technology Program

Overview

The York County School Division established a 1:1 Technology Program in the fall of 2020. Through this program, the division provides all students in grades 3-12 an appropriate device to support purposeful technology integration to increase student engagement, promote critical thinking and extend learning beyond the school day.

Device Distribution & Replacement Cycle

Beginning with the 2023-24 school year, students will keep the device issued to them until they receive a replacement as part of the division's technology refresh cycle or until they leave the division. In other words, students will keep the same device for a specific time period rather than being issued a device each school year.

Device Insurance

Families have the option to purchase an extended warranty and accidental damage protection on division-issued devices. The cost will be $50 per year and will be payable, through Rycor, each August. If purchased, families will only be responsible for the cost of intentional destruction or vandalism, and the loss of the device, power adapter, and/or cord.

Families electing not to purchase the optional insurance will be responsible for all loss and damage to the device beyond the one-year manufacturer's warranty.

Personal Device Use

YCSD provides ongoing support, district-approved software, and mandated security to students using district devices. While families may opt to provide their children a personal device rather than using a division-provided device, YCSD staff are unable to offer technical assistance with personal devices.

Cell phones are not considered an acceptable personal device for daily instructional use.
