1) Obtain liability insurance in the amount of $1 million ($1,000,000) and
2) Provide valid certificate of liability that shows “St. Cloud Area School District 742” as an additional insured party on the certificate, including specific dates of coverage, to the district’s Facilities Scheduling department.
