College Station Schools Experience Insurance Cost Relief
In a pleasing turn of events, the College Station Independent School District (ISD) has achieved a substantial reduction in property and casualty insurance costs. In a recent school board meeting, the ISD’s new Chief Financial Officer, Heather Wilson, announced that there has been a cost saving of $302,877, presenting a decrease of 10.5 percent from the prior year.
Insurance Savings a Welcome Change
The substantial savings act as a slight financial breather for the district, especially after it had experienced a significant 39.9 percent increase in insurance costs the previous year. Wilson has given credit to the lower rate to the large number of proposals received to insure the district’s assets, valued above $626 million.
Efficient Cost Management Vital for Schools
Keeping an important eye on managing costs, authoritative financial leadership is crucial in ensuring the resources allocated towards public education are used effectively and offer maximum value. These savings in insurance costs are a positive development for schools under the College Station ISD, allowing them to access additional resources for educational and operational purposes.
