Protect the decisions you make from liability.

As with any business, you as an officer of your Parent Teacher group can be sued for decisions that you make individually or as an Organization. These can include what type of fundraiser to have, where to hold an event or any other managerial decisions.

If someone sued the officers of your organization for mismanagement, misrepresentations, dissemination of false or misleading information or inappropriate actions, this coverage would pay to defend you.

AIM also offers educators’ professional liability insurance for teachers and administrators who need individual E&O protection beyond what their school provides.

Directors and Officers Liability coverage protects the organization from lawsuits for “wrongful acts.”

This coverage is also referred to as Professional Liability. The coverage limit is $1,000,000 with a $0 deductible.

FAQ’s

What does directors and officers liability insurance cover?

D&O insurance covers any individual charged with making decisions on behalf of your PTA, PTO, or booster club if they are sued for wrongful acts, misleading statements, negligent decisions, bylaw violations, misrepresentation, or inappropriate use of organization funds. AIM’s policy provides $1,000,000 in coverage with a $0 deductible.

What does D&O insurance cover for a PTA/PTO or Booster Club?

Every PTA, PTO, or Booster Club needs D&O insurance. Any individual charged with making decisions on behalf of your PTA, PTO, or booster club, even unpaid volunteers, can be personally sued for decisions made on behalf of the organization.

Does D&O insurance cover legal defense costs?

Yes. D&O insurance covers legal defense costs, which are often the largest expense in a lawsuit. Even if a claim is dismissed, attorney fees can be significant without coverage.

What is the difference between D&O insurance and E&O insurance?

D&O covers governance decisions by organizational leaders. PTAs, PTOs and booster clubs need D&O insurance to protect officers should they be sued for the decisions they make. Educator’s professional liability protects educators against losses if they are accused of wrongful acts that would not be covered by the school’s insurance.

Does D&O insurance cover board members personally?

Yes. D&O insurance is specifically designed to protect individual officers from personal financial liability, not just the organization. It covers their legal defense costs and any covered settlement.

What's the difference between D&O and general liability?

General liability covers physical injuries or property damage at events; D&O covers the management decisions and governance actions of board members. A PTA ideally needs both.

How much does D&O insurance cost for a PTA or PTO?

AIM’s D&O insurance for PTAs and PTOs starts at $50 per year. It is one of the most affordable protection options available for volunteer-run parent organizations.

Is D&O insurance tax deductible for a nonprofit PTA or PTO?

In most cases, insurance premiums are a deductible operating expense for nonprofit organizations. Consult a tax professional familiar with nonprofits to confirm for your specific group.

Is PTA/PTO insurance available in all 50 states?

Yes — AIM is a national provider protecting over 24,000 parent groups across all 50 states. Quotes and purchases are available online or by phone.
