There are plenty of companies that will write a policy for that. You're just hearing about a few that won't.

the underwriters in every company pretty much agreed about risks. One or two might put a really, really high premium out there though. I doubt the state will like the costs.

They aren't raising the rates, they're refusing to provide coverage.

from the article:

Des Moines-based EMC Insurance, which covers 85 to 90 percent of Kansas school districts, has a longstanding policy of denying coverage to schools that arm employees, and they seem unlikely to change it to accommodate Kansas’ new law. Two smaller insurance firms that cover the remaining 10 percent of Kansas schools are also adopting the same policy. Insurers say the risk of giving guns to anyone but law enforcement in a building full of children would make a school’s coverage much more expensive.

I also find it humorous that the insurance company that stated that they would not insure them is now scrambling to change its position. It seems that they realize that their marketplace position of 80-90% is going to go away fast. They have already offered exceptions to three community colleges, in a failed effort to keep their clients.

does not extend to the rest of the carriers in 49 other states.

A Texas district has had coverage since 2008, without an issue over weapons on campus.
