District updates board: insurer responsive, deductible $5,000; claim to remain open two years
Summary
A district staff member told the Northern Lehigh School District Board the insurer has been responsive after a recent accident, the deductible is $5,000 and the claim will remain open for two years; total damages are not yet known and will be shared with the board when available.
A community relations staff member told the Northern Lehigh School District Board the district's property insurer has been "very proactive" and "very responsive" after a recent accident, and that the district's deductible is $5,000.
The staff member said the claim will remain open for two years so any later-discovered damage can be attributed to the original accident. "The claim will still be open for us," the staff member said, adding that the district does not yet have a full total for damages and will share that figure with the board when the insurer provides it.
The update was framed as an information item; the staff member said the district has been in regular contact with the insurer’s on-site adjuster and thanked the insurer for responsiveness. No motion or formal action was taken on the item during the meeting.
Board members did not present additional figures at the meeting. The staff member said an accounting of the total cost of damages is pending and will be provided in a later board update once insurance and repair estimates are finalized.
The meeting then moved to community-relations items, including a multi-point update on transportation safety and a new parent resource on the district website.
