Annual renewal of the District's Property/Casualty/Active Assailant Insurance policies

Annually, the District undergoes a comprehensive analysis of its current insurable property and personnel.  Our broker (Arthur J. Gallagher) obtains competitive quotes based on current insurance trends and needs for the next fiscal year.  The goal is to obtain the best coverage possible while maintaining a manageable budget for the coverage.  This year, the policy includes renewal for Property, General Liability, Auto Liability, School Leaders, Employment Practices Liability, Worker's Compensation, Crime, Cyber Risk, Boiler & Machinery, Storage Tank Liability, and Active Assailant Liability.

The overall cost is a 21% increase of $287,305 from the prior year's premium.  The increase is primarily due to the rise in property values, payroll expenditures, and active assailant premiums.

It is a standard operating practice to negotiate and present insurance renewals for approval based on needs, trends, and financial availability.
