Resolution 22.23 (34) Declaration of Withdraw Membership in SELF and PRISM.pdf
 
Summary:
MDUSD is carefully reviewing our current liability and workers' compensation coverage to protect MDUSD agency against unforeseen claims. The District presently has $55,000,000 in liability limits 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. District staff recommends that we seek alternative quotes for property/liability, cyber liability, and workers' compensation; and that we take the required board action today in order to ensure we have the ability to possibly make such a change (where board action to withdraw is required prior to the end of the calendar year so we can give notice of a withdrawal to the Schools Excess Liability Fund Joint Powers Authority by December 31, 2022 and PRISM by April 30, 2023) as we review our coverage and plans.
