Ky. Rev. Stat. § 156.858
The commissioner of education may provide liability insurance for licensed and nonlicensed motor vehicles owned or operated by the Office of Career and Technical Education in vocational schools and centers.

In either case, the indemnity bond or insurance policy shall be issued by a surety or insurance company authorized to transact business in this state, and shall bind the company to pay any final judgment not to exceed the limits of the policy rendered against the insured for loss or damage to property of any student or other person, or death or injury of any student or other person.
