The Science Teachers Association of Texas is now offering Educators Professional Liability Insurance (EPLI). For only $50/year, you can be covered for up to $2 million per occurrence. That’s a lot of weight behind your career! This is an especially important asset for science teachers. Think about all the times you’ve been in a lab this year, helping students through complicated, hands-on projects. The liability section of the policy will help protect you when unfortunate incidents occur, such as injury to a student under your watch or failure to educate. A separate section of the policy provides reimbursement of attorney fees in a broad range of situations not covered under Coverage A, such as criminal charges, allegations of sexual misconduct, actions involving dismissal, revocation of certification, and other professional rights and duties. The policy period began on 8/1/2010. If you enroll now, your coverage begins on the date of your enrollment and ends on 8/1/2011.
