Board accepts TASB auto and liability renewal that includes $1M coverage for sexual abuse claims
Summary
Riviera ISD approved a TASB auto and liability renewal that stays within budget despite a small increase tied to vehicle repair costs and includes $1,000,000 in coverage addressing recent legislative liability concerns.
Riviera ISD trustees voted to accept the district's auto and liability insurance renewal through the TASB Risk Management Fund at the Feb. 18 meeting.
Jolynn Moreno reviewed the renewal, noting a modest increase in auto physical-damage contributions attributed to rising vehicle repair and parts costs but confirmed the renewal would remain within the budgeted $26,000 line item. The policy continues to provide school liability coverage (professional, legal and general liability), privacy and information-security coverage, and no-cost violent acts coverage.
Moreno also noted the carrier’s explicit position regarding recent legislative changes affecting liability exposure for sexual abuse claims and that the policy includes $1,000,000 in coverage related to those provisions. Trustee Becky Gutierrez moved to accept the contract as presented; the motion passed 6–0 with one absence.
Board discussion emphasized monitoring claim trends and legislative changes that could affect future premiums or coverage needs.
