Policy: EIB
Liability Insurance
The School Board shall purchase liability insurance, as part
of a comprehensive package or as separate policies, as follows,
seeking to minimize their exposure through preservation of
statutory limitations on liability as follows:
1. Commercial General Liability: protecting the District and
its employees against claims for bodily injury or property
damage arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of
the insured premises. In addition, this policy should cover
the Board and its agents in cases alleging personal injury:
libel, slander, invasion of privacy, false arrest, wrongful
eviction. Limits should conform to RSA 507-B:4 ($275,000 per
person; $925,000 per occurrence; with at least a $3,750,000
annual aggregate).
2. Automobile Liability: covering the District against claims
for bodily injury; sickness, disease, or death; as well as
claims for property damage arising from the ownership, use,
or maintenance of a District-owned vehicle or authorized hired
or non-owned vehicle properly used on behalf of the District,
including provision for medical payments and uninsured motorists.
Limits of liability will be a minimum of $275,000 per person;
$925,000 per occurrence.
3. Errors and Omissions Liability: providing the Board and
its agents with financial protection against any claims alleging
wrongful acts arising out of their assigned responsibilities
on behalf of the District (minimum of $3,750,000).
Each contractor will provide evidence of Worker’s Compensation
coverage and a Certificate of Insurance showing the liability
policy endorsed to name the District as an additional insured
party.
Any accidents or occurrences, no matter how minor, that could
indicate liability on the part of an employee or official
of the District shall be promptly reported to the administration
and by them to the insurer. Any changes in use or occupancy
of buildings shall also be reported. Strict observance of
these requirements is necessary to prevent loss of coverage
under policy restricting conditions.
