New Business Item U recommends that Encova provide 2026-27 workers’ compensation coverage at a cost of 97,169 dollars, and that PSBA Insurance through CM Regent provide auto, property, general liability/crime, school leaders’, umbrella, cyber liability, and equipment breakdown coverage. The listed costs include 71,152 dollars for auto/property/general/crime/school leaders/umbrella, 12,890 dollars for cyber liability, and 1,263 dollars for equipment breakdown. These approvals effectively renew or confirm the IU’s core risk-management and cyber insurance program for the coming year, with cyber liability explicitly called out as a separate line item.While the carriers are chosen, this signals an ongoing focus on cyber risk and infrastructure protection that can support conversations about cybersecurity assessments, training, and technology controls that may help reduce claims and future premiums. Vendors in cybersecurity services, incident response, and security awareness training can position their offerings as ways to strengthen the IU’s posture under these policies.

Cyber liability is explicitly budgeted at 12,890 dollars, which can be a leverage point for cyber-related service discussions with both the IU and the insurer.
