It covers costs related to data breach notification, legal expenses, and potential cyber extortion demands. It also includes business interruption coverage to address financial losses if your facility’s systems are compromised.

Real-Life Scenarios: Insurance in Action for VA Schools
Scenario 1: The Great Flood of Chesapeake
When Hurricane Florence hit Roanoke in 2018, an Elementary School faced severe flooding.
Their comprehensive property insurance covered the physical damage and the costs associated with temporary relocation and business interruption. The facility resumed operations within weeks, minimizing disruption to their students’ education.
Scenario 2: The Cyber Attack on Richmond Tech
In 2022, a Richmond based Technical Institute fell victim to a ransomware attack. That is where cybersecurity coverage kicked in immediately, covering data recovery costs, legal fees, and reputation management. The institute’s quick response, backed by insurance support, prevented long-term damage to its enrollment and reputation.
Scenario 3: The Wrongful Termination Suit
When a private school in Norfolk faced a wrongful termination lawsuit from a former teacher, their EPLI coverage provided crucial support. The policy covered legal defense costs and the eventual settlement, protecting the facility’s financial stability and reputation.
These scenarios highlight the importance of comprehensive insurance coverage for educational centers.

Get More Insights On Making The Right Insurance Decision For Your Virginia School
How often should a school in Virginia review its coverage?
Schools in Virginia should review their insurance coverage annually, as recommended by the Virginia State Corporation Commission, to ensure that their policies remain adequate and up-to-date. This annual review aligns with the academic year cycle, allowing schools to adjust coverage as needed before the start of each new school year.
Are private and public schools in Virginia insured differently?
In Virginia, private schools often have tailored insurance programs that cater specifically to their unique needs, offering coverage options such as Educator’s Legal Liability and Sexual Abuse and Molestation Liability. Public schools, on the other hand, may utilize public benefits or insurance without the proceeds being treated as program income, indicating a different approach to insurance coverage.
How can Virginia schools reduce their premiums?
Virginia schools can reduce their insurance premiums by tailoring their coverage to meet specific needs, potentially eliminating unnecessary coverage options, and working with insurance providers to find cost-effective plans. Additionally, schools can explore options for group insurance plans or discounts that may be available through certain providers.
Are school volunteers covered under the institution's insurance?
Generally, volunteers are covered under the general liability policy for injuries or damages they cause while performing authorized duties. However, coverage details can vary, so it’s important to review your specific policy.
How does coverage differ for K-12 versus colleges and universities?
While many coverages overlap, higher education institutions often require additional protections like research liability, international student coverage, and specialized equipment insurance for advanced laboratories and facilities.
