INSURANCE MANAGEMENT
The Superintendent or designee shall be responsible for the management and safekeeping of all district insurance policies.

To protect the district's interests and ensure that the purchase of insurance shall be accomplished in the manner most advantageous to the district, the Board may engage qualified insurance counsel to provide professional guidance in the preparation of insurance specifications and the review of bids, and to advise the Board as to its rights and duties in cases of loss. Such counsel shall be retained on a one year contract which may be renewed by mutual agreement.

Final approval of the purchase of insurance and the periodic updating of insurance coverage shall be the sole responsibility of the Board.
