Southern California Schools Risk Management (SCSRM) is one of the state’s oldest joint powers authorities.  The SCS Risk Management JPA is a not-for-profit organization where public schools share and manage their risk exposures.  Our organization provides insurance programs and risk management services for school districts and community college districts.  What this means to you is that we are not-for-profit driven. 

When the JPA was first founded, we offered self-funded workers’ compensation benefits.  Since then we have expanded our programs to include self-funded property and general liability coverage as well as a host of loss-prevention services to keep students and school employees safe.

SCS Risk Management combines the use of self-insurance and commercial insurance to cover exposures to school districts.  SCS Risk Management selects traditional insurance options when it makes the most financial sense and can offer its members the best cost.  By utilizing the “most favorable” risk financing option available, we insulate members from the cyclical effects of the traditional insurance marketplace.

Our goal is to help districts prosper in the business of education.  Through shared risk management, we can help you focus precious education dollars into the classroom, and that is good business.  We look forward to working with your organization and how we can best tailor a program to suite your program needs.
