There’s “lewd acts” insurance?
RO: LA elementary school teacher charged with committing lewd acts with 23 boys & girls ages 7 to 10
Not entirely. Insurance will only cover specific things, acts and occurances. I have no clue about LA’s policy so I’m not going to speculate on the coverage. But if this was outside the bounds of the policy it’s coming out of the district’s pocket.
And even if insurance does kick in some or all of the settlement, there’s the very real risk that the district becomes uninsurable next year or has a massive rate increase.
“Listen up, people: Acme Insurance is no longer covering school districts’ ‘lewd acts’ anymore.”
“But that’s been a great cash cow!”
“In the past, yes, but we just had to pay a huge claim, and we feel we can no longer assume the risk anymore.”
“We had to pay a claim?”
“Yep.”
“A ‘lewd acts’ claim, seriously?”
“Seriously, and I don’t want to talk about it, so just drop it, OK?”
“OK, OK.”
Every school district I’ve ever dealt with self-insures. So that settlement will be coming out of the regular budget.
And it wasn’t nearly enough.
Cheap, compared to this payout.
I have to ask. What do you think a jury would have done?
They have pictures of a man in their employ spoon-feeding semen to children, fercrissakes. A jury would have have the LAUSD bent over a barrel till next millemium.
They got off cheaply and they know it.
Have you dealt with one that has a $13 billion budget? Dollars to doughnuts says the LA County school district is part of a reinsurance pool at least.
If people can imagine it, and if they can write it, then people have done it to other people. And there is porn of it somewhere on the internet. This is not something to be proud of.
The more I learn about people, the more I like dogs. And Spice Weasel and Sampiro.
The real problem is that he used a food additive without approval from the FDA.
Yes. The teacher committed lewd acts, the school district was negligent in hiring and/or supervising him. There is often insurance for negligence employment practices. Some districts are self-insured, some are part of a “risk pool,” and some have insurance.
Stevia?
