Board weighs property/flood coverage options and approves proposed workers’ compensation carrier
Summary
Board discussed multiple property/casualty and flood-insurance renewal options (including debris-removal coverage specifics) and, after reviewing bids, moved to approve CompSource for workers’ compensation citing cost and claims-continuity considerations.
Staff reviewed a set of options for property/casualty insurance, highlighting differences in coverage for the central (two‑story) building, debris-removal triggers tied to deductibles, and how excess flood policies would interact with base flood coverage. The discussion noted that some coverages would require the district to self-fund debris removal until deductibles were met and that certain portions of the original structure (cafeteria, math wing) remain actively covered because of current use and rental arrangements.
Board members asked clarifying questions about what damage scenarios would be covered and whether a reduced coverage option would leave the district liable for certain repairs; staff responded that policy choices can be changed at a future meeting if desired.
On workers’ compensation insurance, staff recommended switching to CompSource after the district’s long-term carrier options changed; the recommendation cited familiarity with adjusters and claims management, and a move to CompSource was presented as a cost-effective choice. A motion was made to approve CompSource for workers’ compensation coverage and was advanced for board action.
The transcript does not include a detailed roll‑call vote tally for the property/casualty insurance discussion; the workers’ compensation motion was explicitly put forward with staff recommendation.
