What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana regulates proprietary schools — vocational schools, trade schools, and career colleges — through the Board of Regents, Division of Planning, Research & Performance (Proprietary Schools Section). A certificate of registration is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond.
The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it runs to the state for the benefit of students, standing behind the school's compliance with the proprietary school law. If a school closes or otherwise causes covered financial loss to students, they can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. If a school is no longer covered by the required bond, the Board of Regents can suspend the certificate after at least thirty days' written notice, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
