Honestly, I didn't give it a second thought until one day we were discussing liability if someone got hurt. Thought it was best to check it out.

Although 1370 is slightly outside the reach of the Texas school boards, we had a similar discussion. The result was that we invested in a $2 million liability policy to cover the team and all members while in the shop and on trips. With the insurance now separate from the school district, we could probably push for any student being on the team. Currently, we limit it to 100% from the confines of the school district and 90% from the public schools themselves.
