Why Montana Educational Institutions Need Specialized Insurance Coverage
Educational institutions require comprehensive liability coverage. This protection shields against property damage, bodily injury, cyber threats, and professional negligence claims that can devastate unprotected schools.
Montana’s educational landscape is rapidly evolving. 24 approved charter schools now operate across 11 communities. $2.34 billion flows through K-12 spending annually.
This growth brings increased exposure to liability risks. Standard business insurance cannot adequately address these specialized needs. General liability claim costs have increased 200% over four years. Educational institutions face unique exposures including:
- Student accidents and injuries
- Faculty misconduct allegations
- Data breach incidents
- Employment practices claims
Montana institutions face additional challenges. Wildfire risks top the list since Montana has the highest percentage of properties in high-risk wildfire areas. Regulatory compliance requirements add complexity. The specialized needs of diverse educational models create coverage gaps from traditional schools to innovative charter academies.
The state’s recent charter school legislation creates new compliance obligations. These require specialized insurance expertise to navigate effectively.
Complete Protection for Montana Educational Institutions
The Allen Thomas Group offers six essential coverage types.
- Commercial General Liability Insurance – Protects against student injuries, visitor accidents, and third-party property damage claims
- Professional Liability Insurance – Covers educational malpractice, failure to educate, and negligent supervision claims
- Commercial Property Insurance – Safeguards buildings, equipment, and educational materials against fire, theft, and natural disasters
- Directors & Officers Liability Insurance – Protects school leaders and board members from personal liability in wrongful act claims
- Umbrella Liability Insurance – Provides additional coverage limits when primary policies are exhausted
- Cyber Liability Insurance – Essential protection as 87% of institutions remain inadequately protected against cyber-attacks
Our comprehensive approach addresses a sobering reality. 69 major damage awards over $1 million affected educational institutions in 2022.
Compare that to just 38 the previous year. We understand that a single incident can overwhelm standard coverage limits. That’s why our “Smart & Easy” methodology ensures adequate protection across all exposure areas.

Managing Modern Educational Institution Risks in Montana
Sexual misconduct claims now represent 50% of general liability cases affecting educational institutions. These losses are growing three times faster than all other claim types.
Montana institutions must also navigate:
- Employment practices liability exposure
- Cyber security threats and data breaches
- Increasing jury awards reaching millions of dollars
- New regulatory compliance requirements
Montana’s specific considerations include compliance with new charter school legislation. Wildfire exposure management presents unique challenges. Understanding how the state’s $1.2 million charter school funding allocation affects insurance requirements requires specialized knowledge.
The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights saw discrimination complaints reach their highest level ever in 2023. This highlights the need for comprehensive employment practices coverage.
Our proactive risk management approach includes conducting thorough coverage assessments. These identify potential gaps before they become costly claims. We stay current with Montana regulatory changes, industry trends, and emerging risks to ensure your coverage evolves with your institution’s needs.
