Policy 5810 - Risk Management of Assets & Legal Liabilities

INTENT

1.1. 
The 91国产 Board of Education intends that insurance coverage should be arranged to cover board-owned assets and third party legal liability risk exposures; subject to the reasonableness of insurance costs in relation to the risks of loss.
1.2. 
The board intends to self-insure schools and operating departments for the deductible portion of losses greater than $200 of board-owned assets, with claims being processed in a manner similar to that which would be employed if commercial insurance were applicable.
1.3. 
The board intends to provide self-insurance coverage for cash only where the cash relates directly to the conduct of the business of the board which shall be interpreted as cash that is deposited or transferred to a school district bank account; and where the standards for security of cash established pursuant to board Policy #4900 - Management of Site Based Funds, are upheld
