Is teacher insured if he takes a pupil in his car from one school to another?

Is teacher insured if he takes a pupil in his car from one school to another?
The question is too vague because it is not specific to the issue of insured for what? If we are talking about an automobile accident the fact that a student is in the car is not relevant. If we are talking about wrong doing on the part of the teacher against the student and trying to recover against the school district's carrier the answer is maybe. The answer turns on the language of the insurance contract and whether the transportation of the student was permissible and/or was the teacher transporting the student during the course and scope of his employment. A simple yes or no is difficult with an absence of this information.
