If a school entity has a need, chances are
that PSBA has a service, expert or program to meet that need.
Claims Can Occur When You Least Expect Them
It can happen to you. It's a fact that one out of every 10 BUCS participants exceed their stop-loss point every year.
- 30 teacher strikes converted to a lockout by court action resulting in a $120,000 claim
- Lack of funding and enrollment closes tech school doors, causing a $75,000 claim
- Support staff collects UC benefits while teachers on strike, causing a $345,000 claim
- 12 teachers furloughed creating an $87,000 unemployment claim
These actual cases just reinforce that fact. You need an experienced plan to protect your school board, school entity and you.
