Webinar – Contracted Services & Events: Managing School Risk Do you really understand the hold harmless and insurance requirements in your agency’s contracts?

Join Marcus Beverly from Alliant Insurance Services on Wednesday, October 29th, at 10:00 a.m. for a webinar on Protecting Your School from Risks Posed by Contracted Services & Events. Advance registration is required. If you have any questions, please direct them to Cynthia Lee with Alliant.

New Risk Simplified: Bat Control and Prevention Bats are an important part of nature, but when they get into schools or public buildings, they can cause health hazards and property damage. Bat droppings can carry fungi that cause illness, and direct contact may spread rabies. Our new Risk Simplified: Bat Control and Prevention explains how to spot signs of bat activity, handle single bats safely, and prevent colonies from returning.  For questions, please contact Scarlett Sadler for assistance. 2025 PRISM Cyber Symposium – Register Now Registration is now open!
