Optional Student Accident Insurance
While we work hard to safeguard your child at school, student injuries and accidents sometimes happen. Under State Law, school districts can’t be liable for accidents, which occur in schools. It is important to understand the school district is not responsible for medical payments or bills for your child. If your child is injured during any school, athletic or UIL sponsored activity, all medical charges are your responsibility.
Burnet CISD has purchased student accident insurance for any student that participates in a UIL event and accident insurance for any student while at school or involved in a school sponsored event.
Please note this is a limited benefit policy and any charges above the policy limits are the responsibly of the parent or guardian.
In addition, since the school district has purchased this supplemental accident policy, you have the opportunity if you so choose to purchase additional student accident insurance that would be secondary to all other policies.
The attached includes some helpful information and a QR code that will take you directly to the website for Student Assurance Services.
