For school districts in SIA's programs, stable and reasonable insurance costs are maintained through smart risk pooling techniques, effective prevention services, joint purchasing of services, and the development of necessary programs that serve to protect the people in our membership and our members' assets. We partner with our members to help them be successful in preventing workplace injuries and property loss and maintaining safe and strong school environments for students and employees.
