The insurance coverage of the school system should provide the broadest, most complete coverage available, but should be
secured at the most economical cost consistent with sound insurance principles. Since good service is vital to an effective
insurance program, the insurance agent who is awarded any part of the District's insurance business must be able to
provide prompt and efficient service.

The Board of Education shall provide insurance coverage of buildings and capital equipment against loss of not less than
eighty percent (80%) of replacement cost.

The Superintendent may, at his/her discretion, create an insurance advisory panel to assist in developing criteria for
designing the insurance program for the district, and to develop criteria for selection of an agent (broker of record) or
agents.
