INSURANCE (§ 22.1-84)

A school board may provide for insurance on school properties against loss by
fire and against such other losses as it deems necessary and may provide
liability insurance, or may provide self-insurance, for certain or all of its
officers and employees and for student teachers and other persons performing
functions or services for any school in the school division, even though any
such student teacher or other person performs such functions or services without
payment therefor, to cover the costs and expenses incident to liability,
including those for settlement, suit or satisfaction of judgment, arising from
their conduct in discharging their duties or in performing functions or services
for a school. The liability insurance coverage shall be placed with insurance
companies authorized to do business in this Commonwealth.
