Accidents Happen
The Burnaby School district does not insure expenses for student injuries that happen on school grounds
or during school activities. Parents and guardians are responsible for these expenses. Whether it’s playing
sports, using playground equipment, or simply having fun in the gym or in the schoolyard, accidents
sometimes happen. The Medical Services Plan (MSP) either limits or does not cover some charges and
group health plans often have deductibles. Costs that are not covered by MSP or may be limited by group
health plans may include:
• Dental treatment
• Eyeglasses
• Physiotherapy
Accident Insurance
For many years the district arranged for families to voluntarily purchase student accident insurance
through the Kids Plus™ Accident Insurance program. That program has been replaced by the Family
Accident Reimbursement Plan provided by Industrial Alliance. This voluntary plan provides coverage for
students and their families against accidental injury, unexpected medical expenses, and critical illness. To
