Contract AwardInsuranceDetected Jun 25, 2026

During Financial Business, the Board approved three insurance-related policies: an Ohio School Plan Risk Management Services policy for liability, property, violence, and auto; a Travelers/ Love Insurance crime and cyber coverage policy; and a Global Aerospace policy covering unmanned aircraft (drones) for the 2026-2027 school year. These approvals secure the district’s risk management, cyber, and drone insurance for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. These decisions indicate the district is actively managing cyber risk and operating or planning to operate drones, which may support instructional, facilities, or security purposes.While the primary insurance providers are selected, vendors offering cybersecurity services, incident response, training, drone program management, or curriculum aligned to drone use can approach the district with solutions that complement existing coverage by reducing risk and helping staff and students safely leverage these technologies.

Cyber coverage and drone insurance together suggest active or planned technology use that may drive needs for cybersecurity tools, training, and drone-related instructional or operational programs.
