Our History
In 1981, the Colorado School Districts Self Insurance Pool (CSDSIP) was created by Colorado school districts for Colorado school districts, when Colorado state regulators authorized the organization’s creation. Initially comprised of the Littleton, Cherry Creek, Denver, Windsor, Del Norte and Siebert school districts, CSDSIP’s formation was a direct response to shortcomings in the commercial insurance market.
Within four years, membership grew to 70 school districts, and the CSDSIP Board of Directors initiated a capital contribution campaign to build the organization’s reserves. Bolstered by the resulting financial stability, which continues through today, CSDSIP turned its focus to developing additional and enhanced products, services and training to meet the varied needs of its Members.
In 1997, CSDSIP became a self-administered pool – a move that provided heightened control over processes, costs and operations. Meanwhile, the organization formalized the practice of returning excess contributions to Members via dividends or reduced contribution levels. Reinforced by its sound financial footing and proven operational expertise, the organization spent the first years of the 21st century sharpening its service efforts, refining product offerings and ensuring the financial stability of our Members.
