Does the “employer” or “independent contractor” status have anything to do with the charter schools liability insurance?
A3: This depends on your insurance policy. Your charter school may plan using several people helping with small pieces of the curriculum or program. Perhaps it is not possible for each person, for a small amount of work, to obtain independent insurance. Most consultants should carry his/her own insurance. The charter school should make sure that imposing insurance requirements & costs is reasonable and talk to the insurance carrier about options.
