PI42 Student Insurance
Student insurance is offered through independent companies. It is optional and the District receives no commission or monetary consideration for the service. Student accident insurance is not considered to be a benefit or free coverage. Parents are advised to read the offering brochure thoroughly.
Student insurance is recommended for parents who do not have health insurance for their students or for students participating in athletic programs and/or activities.
Student insurance has been strongly recommended for students in special programs which involve camping, overnight trips, team building exercise, ropes courses, etc. to define liability and responsibility for medical treatment if an accident should occur.
