Risk Management

MSDS Online provides employees with immediate access to chemical information sheets (SDSs) in case of an accident involving chemicals. The chemical information sheets (SDSs) are attached to each district location.  Simply select your location and you will have access to the information provided by your location on the chemical inventory sheets that are submitted to Risk Management yearly.

Risk Management manages a broad and complex blanket of property insurance coverage of all 62 schools and support facilities, which have an insured value of more than $1.2 billion.

Includes the administration of all unemployment claims through a third-party contract with Corporate Cost Control; transmittal of all information related to claims; liaison between supervisors and the claims adjuster; and attendance at dispute hearings before the Texas Workforce Commission.

Public school districts are immune for bodily injury to students and the public (except for limited liability for negligent operation and use of a motorized vehicle) as provided in the Texas Tort Claims Act § 101.021 and §101.051.

Parents or guardians may not have medical coverage for their student. Therefore, the district offers a low-cost student accident insurance coverage plan through Student Insurance Plans. Enrollment forms are available from the campus secretary or online.

Student Insurance Plans
