"We have been with ESCRFT for over a decade and we are pleased to be in the trust. Our pool is able to leverage risk with multiple coverage layers which keeps insurance premiums competitive. And, while costs are important, it's the relationships with the elected leaders, brokers, and benefit administrators that make ESCRFT truly special. At Westview, we strive to be good neighbors and ESCRFT has been a good neighbor."
Kendra Sandquist, Director of Finance, Westview School Corporation
“ESCRFT has been an outstanding partner for our school district. When we faced a challenging coverage dispute with our excess carrier, ESCRFT immediately stepped in and advocated vigorously on our behalf resulting in a meaningful contribution from the underwriter that helped resolve the matter. I highly recommend ESCRFT to any Indiana school corporation looking for a responsive, transparent, cost effective and member driven risk pool that has your back when it matters most.”
