Device Protection Plan

In June 2022, the CGESD Governing Board approved the suspension of the Device Protection Plan (DPP) for the 2022-2023 school year. ESSER III funding has been set aside by the district in lieu of providing a Device Protection Plan to offset costs to our families for the 2022-2023 school year. Please see the Damaged and Lost Device Fines document below for specific fines that will be charged.
