RISK MANAGEMENT/INSURANCE

The Governing Board strongly supports a risk management program that protects District resources and promotes that safety of students, staff and the public.

The Superintendent or designee shall establish a risk management program that uses effective safety and loss control practices. The District shall strive to keep its liability at a minimum and its insurance premiums as low as possible while maintaining adequate protection.

To attempt to minimize the District's exposure to liability, the Board shall adopt clear policies related to discrimination, harassment, safety procedures, and the timely handling of claims. The Superintendent or designee shall ensure that these policies and related procedures are enforced fairly and consistently.

The Superintendent or designee shall report to the Board twice a year on the District's risk management activities.
