Insurance Problem Disrupts Portland, Oregon Charter School

April 14, 2011

After staying home on April 11 and 12, students at Trillium Charter School in Portland returned to class on the 13th after a dispute over insurance caused the school to cancel classes.

The Oregonian reports the K-12 school with 360 students had to cancel two days because insurers dropped property, liability and workers’ compensation coverage in a dispute over payments.

The executive director, Genevieve Bouwes, says the school reached a deal with the insurance carriers to keep the school covered through June.

The students will make up the missed days at the end of the school year.
