Each year, the Atlantic & Cape May Counties Association of School Business Officials Joint Insurance Fund (ACCASBO JIF) celebrates member school district successes at their Annual State of the Joint Insurance Fund Dinner. The dinner meeting is organized to reward and recognize the extraordinary efforts of member districts for their commitment to provide a safe and healthy environment for students, staff and community by actively participating in risk management programs.
Rewards were earned by members who reduced the number of accidents by focusing on local safety efforts. Utilizing ACCASBO JIF safety services, districts build and maintain responsive internal accident reporting systems. Member districts are acknowledged for their hard work with recognition plaques and monetary awards.

The ACCASBO JIF is a public entity that is owned and controlled by its 28 Member Districts. It is not an insurance company, and is monitored by the NJ State Department of Banking & Insurance. The State of New Jersey allows public entities to collectively pool their resources to insure for property, liability and workers’ compensation coverages. The ACCASBO JIF was formed in 1991 to reduce the cost of risk so that more money would be available for education. Member Districts have saved tens of millions of dollars and returned $8,864,907 in the form of dividends to their schools for textbooks, supplies, tax relief, technology and new programs.
