About this file
This document is an Insurance Guidelines for Non-AISD Entities issued by the Department of Risk Management for the Austin Independent School District (AISD) in Texas, effective March 2019. The guidelines establish mandatory insurance requirements for vendors, contractors, and community-based organizations conducting business, events, or services on AISD facilities. Companies must provide current ACORD Certificates of Insurance meeting AISD requirements before commencing any activities on District facilities. All insurance policies must be written by companies licensed to do business in Texas with A.M. Best ratings of A-VII or better. The guidelines specify that insurance approval by the District does not relieve or decrease the liability of the Company, and policies covering both the District and Company shall be considered primary coverage as applicable.
The specific insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, including a Waiver of Subrogation and endorsement naming AISD as Additional Insured; Professional Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per claim on a claims-made basis with continuous coverage for 24 months following contract completion; Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance consistent with Texas statutory requirements, with minimum Employer's Liability limits of $500,000 per accident and per disease; and Automobile Liability Insurance with $1,000,000 Single Limit if transporting AISD students. For vendors having direct contact with AISD students without direct AISD staff supervision, a Sexual Molestation and Child Abuse (SAM) endorsement with a $100,000 minimum limit is required. All policies must include a Waiver of Subrogation in favor of AISD and provide notices of cancellation to the District's Department of Risk Management at 4000 S IH-35 Frontage Road, Austin, Texas 78704.
