PERSONAL GOODS BROUGHT TO SCHOOL

Personal property is often brought to school by students, staff, and visitors. This can include mobile phones, calculators, toys, sporting equipment and cars parked on school grounds.

DET does not hold insurance for personal property brought to schools and it has no capacity to pay for any loss or damage to such property.

STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE

Just a reminder that parents/guardians are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including any transport costs. Reasonably low cost accident insurance policies are available from commercial insurers.
