The coverage gap most often missed

The gap most often missed by enrichment programs is abuse and molestation coverage at the limit schools require. Many GL policies exclude abuse or give it a small sublimit, while districts may ask $1 million to $5 million for programs with student contact. 1099 instructors often have no coverage of their own. Carry a dedicated abuse limit that matches your largest school contract, and confirm it covers contract instructors and volunteers.
