"I'd like to commend these districts for their dedication to providing safe working environments for their employees. Protecting your district's most valuable assets — students, staff, property, and financial resources — can seem overwhelming. The Safety Group Insurance Program is proud to help prepare and protect districts from unforeseeable occurrences and losses and address risk-management issues, like safety, compliance, and liability risks," said IASB Chief Financial Officer/Deputy Executive Director Patricia Wright. These districts are participants of the IASB Safety Group Insurance Program, which provides more than 320 Iowa schools, area education agencies, and community colleges with a comprehensive and competitive insurance program. About the Safety Group Insurance Program IASB has supported the Safety Group Insurance Program for more than 40 years to provide members with an excellent property and casualty insurance program. EMC Insurance Companies provides the property and casualty insurance and Jester Insurance Services is the managing agent. Both EMC and Jester have been part of the Safety Group since it was developed, providing first-class coverage, loss-control service, and handling member property and casualty claims. Expansions and improvements are continuously made to meet the ever-changing needs of members and keep pace with educational changes, laws, and regulations.
