Student Insurance
Voluntary Student & Athletic Accident Insurance
The school district does not provide student and athletic accident insurance. However, in accordance with Education Code Section 49472, the district does make available several insurance coverage plans through an independent insurance company. Although not mandatory, we recommend that you consider purchasing some type of student and athletic accident insurance to protect your child in the event of an injury.
The district has made available for purchase voluntary student and
athletic accident insurance through the Student Insurance
Company. The insurance provides broad coverage for 24-Hour,
At-School, Tackle Football, and Extended Dental. Additionally,
the Student Insurance Company offers a unique feature; the company will
pay all claims on a primary basis, except tackle football which will be
paid on an excess basis.
IMPORTANT
All students participating in interscholastic sports (this includes cheerleaders, mascots, bands, drill teams, etc.) are required by the Education Code to have adequate accident/medical insurance. Tackle football coverage must be purchased separately from 24-Hour and At-School Coverage. District procedures require all interscholastic participants to certify accident/medical insurance coverage.
If you have private medical insurance that meets the requirements of
the Education Code Sections 32221..32224, you do not have
to purchase the student and athletic accident insurance offered through
the Student Insurance Company.
If you are interested in purchasing student and athletic accident insurance, please obtain an application from your school office. Complete the application, attach your premium, and return them in the “tear-off” envelope provided in the brochure. Coverage will be effective on the day the insurance company receives your premium. All checks/money orders should be made payable to the Student Insurance Company. DO NOT SEND CASH.
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss details concerning insurance coverage, please contact Diane Edelstein, local representative for the Student Insurance Company, at toll free number 1‑800‑367‑5830 (Los Angeles).
