Information on District Liability 
Tom Rubel reported that there has been discussion with the district’s insurance agent, Amy Gonnerman and District legal counsel, Rick Engel. 
 
Amy Gonnerman was present to answer some of the questions posed by the board.  She reported that in general if employees are using their personal vehicles to conduct district business under the direction of the district, they will be covered under the district’s insurance policy for liability.  She spoke about a 
“gray area” that can occur if employees are making personal stops along the way.  If an employee is transporting students under the direction of the district, they will also be covered for liability.  Non-school employees (volunteers) would also be covered. 
 
A few board members spoke about their thoughts that there should be a stipulation for anyone driving a school vehicle and for anyone getting reimbursed for mileage to provide a valid driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance. 
 
There was a question as to whether or not the district needs to review the policies that are in place now for transporting students and whether there should be a policy added for employees using personal vehicles for school business.  The administration will continue looking into the items of discussion.
