Introduction:
The Arizona
School Alliance for Workers’ Compensation, Inc. (“The Alliance”),
was formed in response to the growing need of Arizona school
districts to increase the level of service while stabilizing the
cost of worker’s compensation coverage.
It is with
this goal in mind that the Alliance was formed and incorporated.
The Alliance is a non-profit organization that is an alternative to
the State Compensation Fund and other private workers’ compensation
carriers. It is our intention to provide the highest quality
workers’ compensation insurance coverages, claims administration and
safety and loss control services.
The Alliance
was formed pursuant to
ARS 15-342(13),
15-382(B)(3) and
11-952.01(B), which authorizes Arizona school districts to
enter into intergovernmental agreements to jointly form non-profit
corporations for the purpose of self-insurance or the joint purchase
of insurance. Because the Alliance is a qualified procurement unit
as allowed by
ARS 15-213, school districts can join without having
to comply with competitive bidding requirements.
