Legal Defense Reimbursement Program

Association of Christian Schools International / Public Policy & Legal Affairs / Legal Affairs and Legal Defense / Legal Defense Reimbursement Program

For over 15 years, ACSI has been helping schools prevent potential legal action through the Legal Defense Reimbursement Program (LDRP) fund. Through this practical program, ACSI provides pre-dismissal legal counsel (up to $750) to participating schools before a decision is made that could place a school at legal risk. The annual service also provides up to $35,000 in reimbursement of attorneys' fees and litigation costs the school must pay due to certain types of employee or student lawsuits.

 
The LDRP program covers such suits as:
  • Failure of the school to meet standards of student educational preparation
  • Employee references; breach of employee contracts
  • Employee EEOC or state agency charges of discrimination  
  • Faith-Based Decision that Leads to Legal Action

ACSI helps schools prevent potential legal action by providing pre-dismissal and preadmission legal counsel (up to $750) through the Legal Defense Reimbursement Program (LDRP). The LDRP fund covers a variety of things such as: student evaluations, suspension of a student, breach of employee contracts, and much more.

Please see the ACSI Legal Defense Reimbursement Fund Overview 2024–2025 for a complete list of coverage and details.

Lawsuits not covered by the program include those where an employee or student is physically injured, workers' compensation action or proceeding, or a sexual act directed against a student or employee. A school must follow the procedures outlined in the Indemnity Agreement to qualify for reimbursement. While the program is not an insurance policy and does not provide any casualty payments for a lawsuit, the annual fee of $325 for this service is well worth the value and peace of mind it can bring!

If you have questions about participation in the LDRP, contact the ACSI Care Team at (800) 367-0798.

    I have had a very positive experience with the ACSI Legal Defense Reimbursement Program. We had a troubling experience a few years ago and were able to get a referral from ACSI Legal to an attorney who gave us guidance. The ACSI Legal Defense Reimbursement Program paid for the legal advice. I appreciated both the referral and the reimbursement. The cost is so minimal for the benefit. We will always be members.
