Joint Powers Authority
The Risk Management Joint Powers Authority (JPA) consists of 65 member districts and charter schools governed by a board of directors consisting of one representative from each member district. The board meets twice each year, and a board-elected nine-member executive committee meets monthly. Through the JPA partnership, districts and charter schools can purchase economical insurance programs which include loss control services and safety training.

The purpose of this program is to identify any diseases and functional limitations of employees and candidates for employment. This facilitates assignment to work which is compatible with an individual's physical and emotional status.
Federal law requires employers to test commercial drivers for the illegal use of alcohol and controlled substances. Learn about the circumstances when a driver must obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL).
The Health Improvement Program is a cost-containment / loss control program of the San Diego County Schools Risk Management Joint Powers Authority.
