The Board of Education recognizes that students may suffer injuries in the course of attendance at school and participation in the athletic and extracurricular programs of the schools. Accordingly, the Board will provide such insurance coverage as is authorized by law and will make available to parents insurance coverage for other contingencies.

The Board will provide parents the opportunity to purchase group insurance coverage, at no cost to the Board, for injury resulting from accidents sustained by students.

The Board requires that students participating in interscholastic school athletics be covered by some type of accident insurance. The insurance may be the accident policy which has been approved by the Board or a similar policy type acquired elsewhere by the student or his/her parents. If the latter choice is made, a copy of the policy or a resume of the coverage shall be furnished the Treasurer of the Board of Education, along with a statement by the parent that said student is a beneficiary of insurance adequate to cover the expenses of all injuries said student may incur while participating in interscholastic school athletics.
