Accident Insurance for Students
In an effort to provide a safe educational environment for all students and student athletes, the School Board of Lake County has purchased excess casualty insurance for all students. This product provides secondary coverage (in excess of personal health insurance plans) designed to offset out of pocket costs in the event of an injury. This coverage is in effect during school time and all school activities (with the exception of Football).
The student accident insurance may be voluntarily upgraded to include 24-hour coverage (including non-school related activities) and/or Football.
