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.
