Governance - TCSIG Board & Operations

The Tri-County Schools Insurance Group (TCSIG), Joint Powers Authority (JPA), is a non-federal governmental self-insurance pool formed in 1983. Our Mission is to pool risk and purchasing power of public entities to provide quality programs to our participants in an effective manner while emphasizing customer satisfaction, stability, financial solvency, and cost. Programs include Property & Liability, Workers’ Compensation, Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits. Life Insurance benefits and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) are included within the Medical program.

TCSIG was established during the very turbulent and harsh public entity insurance market of the early 1980’s. This was a time when districts stood alone when negotiating their coverage. It was an “Insurance Sellers” market. The educational leaders of Yuba, Colusa, and Sutter Counties realized that by operating “Alone” to negotiate coverage, their districts failed. They soon realized that by “pooling their risk” and operating “Together” to negotiate coverage, their districts succeeded. By continuing to follow this philosophy, TCSIG has expanded into eighteen counties. The current markets for property and liability are seeing the same trends once again, with TCSIG’s philosophy of operating “Together” we will be able to weather the storm once again.
