"South Ripley has had an outstanding experience as a member of ESCRFT. When we transitioned to ESCRFT from our previous provider, we experienced lower premiums, lower deductibles, and higher coverage limits across all insured areas, making it an excellent decision for our district from both a financial and coverage standpoint. Several years later, when our district faced a significant mold claim, ESCRFT proved the true value of that partnership."
Rob Moorhead, Superintendent, South Ripley
