What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Nebraska licenses private postsecondary career schools through the Department of Education under the Private Postsecondary Career School Act. The school bond is a student-protection guarantee: it stands behind the tuition and fees students pay.
If a school closes before students finish, or violates the Act in a way that causes loss, the bond can reimburse affected students or their guardians for damages — up to the $20,000 amount. The bond runs to the Department for the benefit of harmed students.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond can be canceled on 30 days’ notice to the Department, but the school must keep one in force to stay licensed.

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 $20,000 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 Department of Education. Your executed $20,000 bond arrives by email, ready to file with your school license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
