ASCIP Deductables and Coverages

Here is where you will find information regarding ASCIP Deductables and Coverages.  Please contact the Deputy Superintendent’s office to report all claims and/or damages.

Confidential School Accident Report

A Confidential School Incident Report is completed and sent to the office of the Assistant Superintendent of Business Services when a student is injured.  Please fill out the form completely, file a copy in the Nurse’s file and scan a copy to Allison Murray at murraya@mhusd.org; if you feel it is something we need to be aware of quickly, please call Allison Murray.  PLEASE – DO NOT FILE A COPY IN THE STUDENT CUM.  This is a confidential, internal document; its contents are NOT to be shared or copied for persons who are not school district employees and/or their legal representatives.  You may keep a copy in your office.

Certificate of Insurance Request

Our insurance carrier is Alliance for Schools for Cooperative Insurance Programs (ASCIP).Please complete the Certificate of Insurance Request for all special events and scan it to the office of the Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, Attn: Allison Murray (murraya@mhusd.org).When you are requesting insurance coverage, please make every effort to fill out the request completely and submit the request with a copy of the Contract, Agreement or Use Permit.  Although ASCIP prefers to have the complete agreement on file, the following portions may be extracted.
  • First page (usually identifies the parties involved, contact number, the description of the program, activity, etc.)
  • Complete Insurance and Indemnification Sections
  • Schedule of Payments (usually an addendum or exhibit)
  • Section of the Contract that specifies length of agreement (this section appears in a variety of places depending on the agreement structure)

This request will be submitted to ASCIP immediately upon receipt by the Assistant Superintendent of Business Services’ office.  ASCIP will then be able to issue your Certificate without any delay due to lack of information.

Once the Certificate is issued it will be sent directly to the facility requesting insurance, along with a copy to the District Office to be kept on file.  You will be notified when the Certificate of Insurance is received.

Claim Against the District

If a student or visitor is injured on school property and they indicate that they would like to file a claim against the district; please direct them to the office of the Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, 408-201-6052.  We will provide a “Claim Against the District” form and directions for submitting.

Property-Evidence of Coverage

When a new copier is purchased or leased an Evidence of Coverage is needed to protect you and the lending agent in case of theft or damage to the machine.  Please submit the Evidence of Coverage Form (same as Certificate of Insurance Request) along with supporting documentation, i.e., copy of lease, to the office of the Assistant Superintendent of Business Services.

Student and Athletic Insurance

The following insurance companies provide very affordable student and athletic insurance for those who do not have coverage.  Both sites are easy to use and have forms that could be downloaded.  Please feel free to refer your families to either site for their insurance needs.  We are not affiliated with either company; they offer insurance to all public and private school students.

  • Program Director, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services and Business Services Buyer – Contract is approved and initialed by the Assistant Superintendent of the appropriate department, initialed by the Business Services Buyer and then signed by the Assistant Superintendent of Business Services.  Program Director will submit the contract to the Board of Education, at the next scheduled Board meeting, for approval.  After approval by the Board the contract is forwarded to the vendor for signature and completion of all appropriate boxes, i.e., address, tax information, phone number, etc.
  • Program Director – upon completion of signatures by all parties, the secretary of the department involved must submit a requisition to Fiscal Services for future payment to the contractor.
