I am a private citizen seeking information concerning your public official surety bond, or the Errors & Omissions (E&O), and or the Duty of Care policy that you are required by the state of North Dakota to obtain before swearing the oath of office.

North Dakota 26.1-21-06.

Unless otherwise provided, the bond provided under this chapter is a blanket bond. The blanket bond is a fidelity bond. The blanket bond is conditioned on the public employee or public official, as principal, rendering a true account of all moneys and property possessed as a public employee or public official, and delivering the money or the property as required by law. The provisions of this chapter and of any statute requiring a bond constitute the bond of each public official and public employee for the purposes of any law of this state requiring the bond and constitute the entire contract between the fund and a state agency or a political subdivision as the obligee for the bond.

 Public Official Surety Bond requests fall under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, The Sunshine Act 5 U.S.C. § 552b, by law you are obligated to supply me with this information.

It is public knowledge in the State of North Dakota that all school boards in the state and the superintendents are required to be bonded, carry a surety liability insurance policy, an Errors & Omissions, or a Duty of Care policy.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.
