In Other News Missouri Charter School Insurance Program Please continue to look into the cost savings, insurance coverage enhancements and excellent servicing of Missouri Charter School Insurance Program (MCSIP). While we understand you have a current insurance broker and carriers, MCSIP is a group insurance program that is designed specifically for our member schools to leverage our community buying power resulting in more insurance coverage for less dollars. The last school that joined MCSIP saved over $12,000 and we advise you to contact Sam Bell from Gallagher, our partner insurance broker for MCSIP, to take advantage of this cost saving opportunity. Also, with uncertainty of COVID potentially affecting students, staff and balance sheets we encourage you to utilize Gallagher’s K-12 resources. They can provide you with documents, flyers, whitepapers, webinars, etc. on how to best return students and staff to school safely without increasing your liability. MCPSA is continuously striving to help add value to your operations and provide cost saving solutions. MCSIP is the solution we have for you to control your insurance costs. Thank you!
