Board approves updated policies, insurance renewals and student‑service agreements
Summary
The board approved a slate of updated policies (703, 704, 802, 803, 804), renewed insurance coverages for 2027 (property, auto, workers' comp, cyber, student accident) and authorized agreements for therapy and student services as presented.
The Big Spring board approved several administrative and operational items grouped on the meeting agenda, including updated policy language and insurance renewals.
The administration recommended final approval of revised policies 703 (sanitary management), 704 (maintenance), 802 (school organization), 803 (school calendar) and 804 (school day); the board voted to approve the policies after the solicitor reviewed them. The board also authorized insurance renewals for 2026–27, covering workers' compensation, property, auto, umbrella, cyber coverage and student‑accident insurance; administration noted an overall price increase (the meeting cited $23,154 total increase, including $7,820 for added environmental liability coverage).
Directors reviewed agreements for physical, occupational and speech therapy and other student services and approved them as presented. Trustees asked clarifying questions about how optional student‑accident coverage works (parents may purchase 24‑hour or school‑time coverage as a secondary layer of insurance), and administration said the program is voluntary and that enrollment/use figures were not immediately available at the table.
