COI tracking for private schools

Athletic coaches, bus operators, caterers, facilities contractors, field-trip vendors — a school runs on outside help, and your board and insurer expect every one of them to carry current coverage. One lapsed certificate is a gap around students.

The job

Where this gets hard

Coaches and activity instructors are often independent

The strength coach, the club instructor, the visiting arts specialist — many are contractors, and their liability coverage protects the school if a student is hurt. A lapsed certificate leaves that gap open. Automated 30/14/7-day reminders keep them current.

Student transport puts auto liability on your radar

Whether it’s a chartered bus for games or a field-trip van, the operator’s coverage matters every mile. Track each transportation vendor’s certificate and send a "Request Update" from your name when renewal comes due.

The board and insurer want proof, not assurances

Trustees and carriers reviewing risk will ask whether your vendors are insured. Filter the dashboard by status and export a CSV in seconds — a current list instead of a scramble through the front office inbox.

FAQ — Private schools

Which school vendors should provide a COI?

Athletic coaches and activity instructors, bus and transportation contractors, food service, facilities and maintenance contractors, and field-trip vendors. Any outside party working with students or on campus should have a current certificate on file.

How do we track coaches and instructors who come and go?

Add each as a vendor with their certificate and expiry date. Reminders fire at 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry, and "Request Update" emails them from your name for a renewal. Growth ($59/mo) adds CSV import if you onboard many at the start of a season.

Can we hand the board or insurer proof of vendor coverage?

Filter by status and export a CSV — available on every plan, including Free — for a current list of insured vendors. The certificate PDFs stay in private storage behind signed URLs. COI Tracker records and tracks; it doesn’t verify the coverage itself.

Is a small school able to start for free?

Yes. Free tracks up to 3 vendors with CSV export included. As your vendor list grows, Starter is $29/mo and Growth is $59/mo with CSV import for bulk-loading.

Not legal or insurance advice. Verify your specific contract and policy requirements with a licensed broker or attorney.
