Professional Liability

School Leaders Errors & Omissions

Teachers, administrators and school board members face a growing number of suits on a broad range of issues from admissions policies to failure to educate. Their decisions and actions are meticulously scrutinized by parents and others in the local community. Many of their decisions involve sensitive, highly charged issues and when constituents are unsatisfied with an outcome, they frequently seek recourse in the courts. Moreover, Employment practices claims against educators alleging failure to promote, discrimination, and sexual harassment continue to skyrocket. And, defense costs are higher than ever, even when a suit lacks merit.

A School Leaders Liability policy is designed to protect public school districts, private schools, school board members, administrators, teachers, employees and volunteers in claims alleging breach of duty or negligence related to curriculum, employment practices and fiduciary responsibilities.
