Public Schools Insurance FAQs

Quick answers to common questions from district business officials and boards.
Students. Nearly every exposure a district has runs through its duty to the children in its care, from playgrounds to buses to data. School programs are built around that duty with coverages ordinary policies simply do not include.
It is the district’s version of public officials coverage: protection for board decisions, administrative actions, and employment claims. It is where most non-injury school claims land, and limits deserve real attention.
We build renewals around your budget development calendar and structure proposals for board comparison. If your district bids coverage, we know how to compete in that process.
Districts hold years of student and staff data and run lean IT departments, which makes them frequent targets. Cyber coverage funds incident response and the notifications required by New York law. It has moved from optional to standard.
