K-12 Insurance
Elementary and secondary schools carry custodial responsibility for a minor population, a different consideration than education elsewhere. Public funding realities and evolving safety expectations test every school board's plan. HUB coordinates safety, financial and workforce strategy into one program, guided by experienced advisors.

What running a school board involves
HUB has worked with school boards managing student safety, facility use and staff retention all at once, where a misconduct claim, a summer camp launch or a resignation rarely stays contained to one department alone.
K-12 schools are responsible for the custodial safety of minors , which means protocols for sexual misconduct prevention, active shooter scenarios and student supervision carry a different weight than the general campus-safety that applies to an adult population elsewhere in education.
HUB builds child-protection-specific protocols with specialists in the field, covering screening, training, supervision and internal reporting, paired with crisis management planning for violence, weather events and other catastrophic incidents that could affect the school community.
A school has an opportunity to strengthen student protection by designing sexual misconduct protocols specifically for minors, rather than relying on a general campus-safety model created for adult populations. The most effective approaches build prevention, screening, and day-to-day supervision into one connected system—creating a consistent culture of safety rather than a checklist revisited once a year.
The school creates a safer environment for students through protocols intentionally designed for a minor population, with prevention, screening and supervision working together as an integrated student-protection system.
Facing provincial funding constraints and declining enrolment, schools are increasingly seeking alternative revenue from facility rentals, before and after-school care and summer camps, and each new auxiliary program introduces liability exposure that a standard school policy was never built to cover.
HUB reviews every auxiliary revenue program, whether run by school staff or a third-party vendor, to confirm it carries adequate coverage and that any outside group using school facilities is properly insured before the program launches.
Summer camps and facility rentals are an opportunity to turn existing space and expertise into new revenue. That becomes even stronger when each auxiliary program is backed by coverage written for how it operates, so the school can grow these offerings with full confidence.
The school confidently generates the alternative revenue its funding goals require, with coverage intentionally aligned to each auxiliary program, so every camp and rental is supported from day one, ready to perform if a claim ever arises.
Teachers and school staff are leaving their positions and the industry altogether, and a sharp drop in enrolment for teaching programs means fewer credentialled educators are entering the pipeline at all, a supply-side problem no amount of individual-school recruiting can fully solve on its own.
HUB’s K-12 specialists centre its solution on health, wellbeing and retirement benefits strategy designed to retain the teachers a school already has, since the shrinking pipeline of new credentialled educators makes retention more valuable than it was when replacement hiring was easier.
With fewer new teachers entering the field, the educators a school already has become its greatest asset. That opens a real opportunity: schools that invest in keeping their current staff build lasting strength from within. Recruiting brings in fresh talent, but retention is where schools gain their steadiest advantage.
By offering a stronger benefits program, the school keeps more of its talented teachers year after year. This creates lasting stability, builds a loyal and experienced staff and positions the school to thrive no matter how the wider educator pipeline shifts.
Tailored Risk Solutions for Your Industry
Coordinating risk across everything a school board runs
A generic program treats student transportation, facility construction, financial controls and staff safety as separate line items, missing exactly where a bus route becomes a liability question and a budget conversation. HUB coordinates these areas around how a school board runs.
School boards move students well beyond the classroom, whether on daily bus routes, chartered trips or the school bus and van fleet that hired and non-owned auto coverage exists to cover. Youth and high school athletics add a further layer of exposure, from team travel logistics to game-day supervision and equipment risk. HUB coordinates transportation and athletics risk into one program, connecting bus and van coverage with student athletics liability rather than managing each through a separate policy and a separate point of contact.
School facilities carry construction risk during capital projects, property risk for the buildings themselves and cyber risk as more instruction and student data move onto online learning platforms used every day by students and teachers. HUB coordinates property, construction and cyber coverage into one program, so a facility renovation, a data exposure and a roof repair are managed by one team rather than three separate vendors handling three separate claims.
Occupational fraud, including corruption, asset misappropriation and financial statement fraud, threatens school boards managing public funds just as directly as a physical safety incident does, while workers' compensation coordination protects the staff running programs, maintaining facilities and supervising students every day. HUB connects financial-integrity protection with workplace safety coordination into one program, rather than treating internal controls and staff safety as unrelated conversations handled by entirely different departments and different advisors.
HUB's Impact
What happens when a school's program is tested
A safety protocol, a coverage review or a benefits program only proves itself when something happens, a misconduct claim, a facility loss or a resignation the school did not see coming. The scenarios below reflect how HUB's approach performs under exactly those conditions.
