STUDENT INSURANCE PROGRAM

The Monroe City School Board shall make available student accident insurance for purchase for students attending Monroe City public schools.  An application form provided by the insurance carrier shall be sent home with students during the first week of school.  The schools shall not be liable for any premium payment.  Claim forms shall be furnished by the insurance carrier and copies shall be available in the school office.

The Board does not assume liability for accidents to students who do not carry insurance nor does it assume liability for accidents to students who carry insurance beyond the policy coverage (this includes special football coverage).

RELEASE FORM FOR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

All students engaging in interscholastic or extracurricular activities shall be required to fill out a form which releases the school, District, and Board from any liability for accidents or injury to students.  This release form must be signed by parents/legal guardians before the student shall be permitted to participate in any extracurricular activity, including but not limited to, athletics, intramural sports, cheerleading, and band.
