I know your question is more a rules/procedures one, but what I feel is most important is that teachers and students use the Chromebooks differently than they taught and learned before them. Don't just digitize worksheets and traditional assignments - leverage the collaborative and digital tools and resources to teach and learn better than ever before. To that end, here's an awesome book by Alice Keeler which shows how Google Classroom (a must for Chromebook digital learning in my opinion) should be used for student-centered learning.

Alicekeeler.com is her website which is also awesome.
Also, I recommend purchasing the Read&Write for Chrome extension. It's a literacy support tool for reading and writing that works with Google Docs and web pages for text to speech, word prediction and dictionaries for writing, and and voice recording (voice notes). Highly recommended at about $1.50/student/year. Teachers get it for free.
Good luck! This will be awesome for students and teachers!
Read Aaron Dignan book, Game Frame. Its a great read, and applicable to education
50 Things You Can Do with Google Classroom by Alice Keeler is a great resource. She also does district tutorials, but really, grab a bunch of copies of her book and just start.
Why haven't the cheaper Casios, which do the same stuff at about half the cost, caught on? https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-9750GII-Graphing-Calculator-White/dp/B00154GSQA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503274974&sr=8-1&keywords=casio%2Bfx9750gii&th=1

No one would sell an extended warranty policy that loses money. This means that those programs are very fundamentally a waste of money vs. just self-insuring. You'll never have enough devices fail to justify the overall cost of the extra warranty / plan.
