CASUALTY INSURANCE
SCHOOL BUS LIABILITY COVERAGE
The Bogalusa City School Board shall require each contract bus operator ten (10) days prior to the commencement of each school year, to provide the Supervisor of Transportation with a copy of his/her insurance policy covering a full year and a paid receipt for the policy. Should any coverage aspects or insurance provisions change during the year, the bus operator shall notify the Superintendent or his/her designee within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of notification. Failure to comply with these requirements shall result in suspension without pay of the bus operator until such time as the bus driver is in compliance.
Each policy shall name the Bogalusa City School Board as an additional insured and must provide the minimum liability coverage of $1,000,000.
The School Board shall provide for insurance on district-owned buses, if any.
CONTRACTORS AND VENDORS
The Bogalusa City School Board shall require all contractors and vendors doing business with the School Board to maintain adequate insurance coverage. Such coverage shall include workers' compensation and third party liability coverage. The contractor or vendor may not appear at the facility either to unload materials or to begin work until a valid insurance certificate has been provided to the Superintendent or his/her designee. If the contractor or vendor cannot provide these coverages, another contractor or vendor shall be secured.
The individual issuing the contract is the last party to sign the contract. No contract shall be countersigned unless a valid insurance certificate has been provided.
Once a valid insurance certificate has been received, the individual signing the contract shall make sure the certificate is valid and meets the limits prescribed in the specifications and/or contract agreement.
