I'm very naive about these things, so please be patient with me. But my
questions are: 1) I carry a property and casualty policy as required by my
lender for my home. Why wouldn't a school carry this? 2) It's a public
school. Where is the government?  A half block of Berkeley recently burned
down and the Federal government came in offered aid. Surely, the
government would do the same for a school.
