Safety First: Chester School District Wins Statewide Award

Chester School District is well known for its commitment to education and forward movement in curriculum.

It’s also a very safe place to be.

The school district was honored with the 2014 Safety Award as presented by the New Jersey Schools Insurance Group recently. It’s one of 39 districts out of more than 400 in the state to receive the designation.

In order to receive the award, recipients qualified on two criteria: effort put forth as measured by the NJSIG; the second is the result achieved as measured by the workers’ compensation loss ratio which is loss dollars divided by premium dollars.

The 2014 recipients were recognized for implementing an effective safety program in their districts, minimizing their workers’ compensation costs.
