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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Board of Regents. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your certificate of registration application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
