About the Department

The Risk Management Department has several functions including prevention of accidents and protecting the assets of Douglas County School District. The objectives of the Risk Management Department are to support the educational mission of the district by maximizing the dollars available to the classroom, keeping students and employees safe while at school, and protecting the assets of the school district. These objectives are accomplished by:

  • Increasing productivity by keeping trained employees safely on the job
  • Creating a safe and healthy work environment
  • Minimizing the cost of providing service through competitive bids
  • Developing an insurance program which combines self insured levels with commercial insurance to offer proper insurance coverage at the lowest cost possible
