Summary:
|
Mt. Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) staff are carefully reviewing our current liability and workers' compensation coverage to protect MDUSD against unforeseen claims. The District presently has comprehensive Worker's Compensation coverage through its membership in the excess liability program from the Schools Excess Liability Fund (SELF) and the Public Risk Innovation, Solutions and Management (PRISM) and workers' compensation coverage through PRISM. The District was assessed over the last three years supplemental unforeseen assessments in excess of $1.2 million by SELF. In light of ever increasing insurance costs plus unforeseen assessments, District staff has sought alternative coverage to bring its liability and Worker’s Compensation coverage and management under a single umbrella and to join other local school districts to share resources, address common concerns and provide joint liability and worker’s compensation coverage at best value for the District. This Resolution is required for the District to exit PRISM and SELF and join the Protected Insurance Program for Schools (“PIPS”) for Worker's Compensation coverage. The District's Worker's Compensation Program would remain the same, but additional risk management resources would be provided seeking to increase worker safety and reduce claims. |
