• Insurance

    Our department administers the district's self-insurance funds and excess insurance policies. Such as property, flood, vehicle, and excess workers compensation policies. We also manage the student accident/athletic insurance policies. 

    Certificate of Insurance

    As you plan various activities away from the school, you may be asked for "proof of insurance." The requesting organization is asking for you to provide evidence that the District has liability insurance coverage for the proposed activity. You will probably be asked for this certificate anytime you are going into a private business.

    To Request a Certificate of Insurance:

    Complete the Certificate of Insurance online form or you may also email the COI Request Form to wouter_doossche@charleston.k12.sc.us or fax it to 843-937-6585.   

     

    The certificate will be mailed. If this request has to be handled quickly please include a fax number or an email address and a request stating that quicker handling is needed. Think about the Certificate of Insurance early in your planning process.
