The Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) eligibility rules state that participating schools must have in-place medical insurance with coverage limits up to the deductible of the KHSAA catastrophic insurance program and such insurance shall remain in force throughout participation.  It is the responsibility of each member school to insure and certify that each student has insurance coverage throughout the year. 

For the past several years, the board has chosen to insure all students with an accident policy.  Insuring all students with an accident policy gives the board coverage if an accident were to occur on school property or at a school-sponsored event.  The patient’s insurance (or student’s insurance) is primary, this policy is supplemental.  If the student does not have insurance, this policy becomes primary. 

Last year, 2025, the District cost for covering approximately 2400 (P-12) students was $42,934 for the basic accident coverage ($0-$25,000) and for catastrophic accident coverage ($25,000-$7,500,000).
