legal assistance
[See complete Rules and Guidelines]
The rules and guidelines for the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP) Legal Assistance Program were revised by the Association's Board of Directors and are effective for all claims occurring after July 1, 2000. The rules were revised in order to clarify and simplify the Legal Assistance Program and will allow the Association to even better serve members in the future. The Legal Assistance Program is available to all regular, active Association members and is designed to help members with legal counsel and with legal fees in the event of a lawsuit. Inquiries should be directed to the Executive Director. A summary of the NASSP Legal Fee Reimbursement Program offered by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) is included (p. 4).
Often the MASSP Legal Assistance Program can be used in conjunction with the NASSP program for even greater membership benefit. For questions regarding the NASSP program or for a copy of their exact rules and guidelines, please contact NASSP Legal Services at 800-253-7746 or http://www.principals.org. In addition to MASSP and NASSP assistance, the following may also provide administrators with liability coverage: 1. The school district's liability insurance may defend the administrator and cover all legal costs and penalties. 2. The individual's homeowners' policy. The laws regarding professional liability and the rules governing insurance coverage can be very difficult to understand. Whenever there is a potential legal problem, it is important to identify the type of problem, who is responsible for providing legal representation (either the school district, some other entity, or you personally) and the sources of liability coverage. MASSP is available to assist members in sorting through these questions.
