The School Board Legal Liability (SBLL) Program covers former, present and future school board members, administrators, employees and volunteers for any actual or alleged breach of duty, negligent act or error, misstatement, misleading statement or omission with up to $10 million in coverage.

The SBLL program is available to qualified members of the Workers' Compensation Self-Insurance Trust (WCSIT) as a benefit of membership.
* Although school districts can look to the SBLL Program for
coverage for
most
types of verbal sexual harassment claims, those
claims involving sexual abuse/molestation will fall beyond the scope of the SBLL
Program. School districts should contact their general liability carrier for
more information regarding coverage for sexual abuse/molestation
claims.
The coverage of the SBLL Program is summarized on this web site and is subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions printed in School Board Legal Liability coverage agreement. Refer to the coverage agreement for specifics on coverage and limits.
