2021 5% General Liability Credit for 2022/2023

Over the past 6 years, PACE has offered a 5% General Liability Credit for members that completed certain requirements related to two exposures that have been hitting the Pool from a claim’s standpoint: Sex Abuse and Employment Practices Liability. With the success and the popularity of the 5% GL credit program, staff would like to introduce a new opportunity for our members to receive the credit for implementing mitigation tools for an up and coming exposure to the Insurance Program.

Our claims team has handled claims in our program over the years and more recently it seems daily there is a report in the news of sexual harassment and sexual conduct related to students all over the country in our schools. This year, to qualify, we need your entity to prove that it is following the appropriate laws around sexual abuse and sexual harassment and have it signed by your superintendent, president or designee.

Part 1: Previous SAM Materials Review
PACE has been dedicated to Sexual Abuse and Molestation (SAM) Prevention for over a decade. Please review all the previous resources PACE has put together to educate our members on not only the severity of child sexual abuse, but tools they have provided to make sure our members are up to date and compliant with the most current Oregon legislation.

Part 2: Student Trainings and Tip-Line Promotion
This section is designed for members to take an introspective look at the resources and learning material that are currently available to their students. Please use this section to look for more opportunities to enhance student resources as well as consider the implementation of an anonymous tip-line.

Part 3: Survey (completed ONLINE)
The goal of the survey is to get a baseline by gathering more information on what the barriers and obstacles are when it comes to reporting sexual abuse and molestation. The survey results will allow PACE to develop a Sexual Abuse and Molestation Prevention strategy to help overcome these obstacles and create a safer, and more aware learning environment for all. .
