Voluntary Student Medical Insurance
Pursuant to CCSD Regulation 5154, the school district must supply information regarding the availability of student accident insurance. Please remember, this is not a school district sponsored program. We are allowing the distribution of the information for the benefit of the students and parents. While the Clark County School District takes appropriate measures to ensure the safety of students, accidents do occur. The District does not provide accident medical insurance coverage for students. This means that the parent(s) are responsible for any bills from a school related injury to their child.
