SCHOOL BUS LIABILITY COVERAGE
The Orleans Parish School Board shall require its transportation service provider, ten (10) days prior to the commencement of each school year, to provide the Superintendent and his/her designee 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 transportation provider shall notify the Superintendent or his/her designee within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of notification. Failure to comply with these requirements shall constitute a basis for termination of the transportation contract.

The amount of coverage shall be at least that required by state law or higher limits as set by the School Board.
Persons using their own vehicles may be required to submit verification of coverage to the Superintendent or his/her designee before commencing any travel or being eligible for expense reimbursement.
