Russell Bond & Co., Inc. May 2011
School Board Errors & Omissions
Schools are faced with an increasing number of lawsuits based on issues such as dress codes, special education, sexual discrimination or failure to educate.  Employment Practice claims are the most frequent type of lawsuit, compromising almost half of the claims made.  Student suspension / expulsion and integration cases are on the rise as well.  A broad spectrum of insurance coverage is essential to defend the educational entity, its employees and even volunteers.

Russell Bond has access to the leading markets, with programs specifically designed for public, parochial and nonprofit private school entities including colleges, universities and vocational training schools.
Program features include:
  • Full Prior Acts available

  • Defense Costs in addition to limits for claims

  • Punitive Damages not excluded (where allowable by law)

  • Employment Practices Liability including Third Party

  • Defense of non-monetary actions

  • Back Pay / Front Pay coverage included in employment CPL coverage

  • Optional coverage for Violent Acts Crisis Management

  • Privacy / Security sublimit

This coverage is among the most comprehensive in the industry and covers the entity, elected and appointed officials, board members, trustees, all employees, volunteer and their heirs.

Coverage on a stand-alone policy can be significantly broader than coverage included under a property / casualty package policy.  For more information on
