The Board of Trustees believes that all students should have health and accident insurance protection to ensure that they receive needed health care services in the event of illness or injury.
The Superintendent or designee may provide information to students and their parents/guardians about available insurance against injuries occurring during school-related activities, which may include printed matter furnished by the insurer or membership corporation. Parents/guardians shall not be required to enroll their children in insurance programs offered by the district.
