6 | Schools Insurance Group (SIG) is a self-insured risk pooling program formed by and tailored specifically for its member K-12 public schools. As a participant in SIG's property and liability program, each District or County Office of Education has a responsibility to identify and manage risk. These event and activity guidelines and resources are provided as a tool to enable each member to identify and manage the potential risks involved. The interactve matrix below lists the level of risk for various activities and provides resources activities associated with each activity. SIG is here to support a safe and fun environment for staff, students, and our communities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | GREEN - low level of risk. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | YELLOW- higher level of risk requiring additional supervision or oversight. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | SIG Risk Level Flowchart | ORANGE- higher hazard that requires prior review and approval from SIG. These activities come with a higher deductible in the event of a claim. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | RED- activity is too great a risk and should not be undertaken. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | In general, it is important to avoid using a vendor contract which contains a Hold Harmless Agreement or other wording that states the school will be held responsible for additional liabilities of the vendor or subcontrator. Review all contractual arrangements with your legal counsel or use the SIG Independent Contractor Agreement to make sure that there is no agreements with such provisions. Separate nonprofit groups or clubs, or those that may have a separate Board of Directors-i.e. PTA, PTO, Booster Clubs, Foundations, and others, occasionally sign contracts that may place the District and the auxiliary groups at risk. These groups may purchase coverage under SIG's self-insured risk pooling program (see link below for information). This protects the District and the auxiliary group through SIG's support. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

These documents include flowcharts, examples, guidelines, suggested venues, etc. Each individual activity is listed below in the color associated with its risk as explained above. Each activity has its own hyperlink to a folder containing an individual matrix of items usually required for this event, other general resources, or support documents for the event or activity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
