The Risk Management Department is dedicated to protecting the assets of the Chicago Board of Education through the analysis of risk exposures. We maintain insurance coverage's to meet the needs and analyze out ability to retain losses. Loss control plans are developed and implemented to minimize potential losses and insure the safety of persons and property.

Goals & Accomplishments

  • Maintain the Owner Controlled Insurance Plan for the Capital Improvement Program. The Board provides the insurance for all contractors while working at a CPS location. By managing these insurance dollars, the Board realizes millions of dollars in surveys each year. The program demands good safety practices at the job sites and realizes better claim control.
  • Implement a school site safety inspection program to minimize potential hazards in our schools.
  • Develop a Disaster Plan in the event of a catastrophic event at a school.
  • Promote CPR and First Aid training for staff.
  • Implement a system wide fire extinguisher maintenance program.
  • Partner with the Department of Operations to facilitate removal of any hazardous chemicals form schools.
  • Maintain the Bloodborne Pathogen program in conjunction with the Bureau of Employee Health Services.
  • Develop a Sports and Aquatic Safety program.
  • Implement an Owned and Leased Vehicle Safety Program.
