[SJAAboard] ISC Insurance -Rob's points

[Nelsonastro at aol.com]

Rob is misstating a number of points.
 
1. SJAA and the directors and member volunteers would
have to have valid ICS insurance to be protected (by the SJAA
insurance carrier) for this potential liability.
 
2. We have a fixed list of members. We could set the
expectation that such a criminal check will be performed
AND vote that the SJAA will "indemnify" under its insurance
Members Who Sign Up As Volunteers.
 
3. I'm not sure what kind of 'full criminal check' you
can get for $10 a person!  [not $100 ! ] See point 2,
if you sign up, you Will be covered by SJAA
insurance, which requires criminal check.
 
4. Insurance program is for SJAA members only.
 
5. Our insurance carrier, and ASP differ with Rob.
 
6.
 
7. Rob is off X 10.  $100 according to our insurance
carrier will get simple criminal checks on 10 members
who are regular school event volunteers.  This is not
about non-members.  This proposal is only about
school events. {i.e. at two events so far this year
I would be an example - and willing to foot the $10)
 
8. "The ISC program sold by our vendor is geared to
employment issues." This is an entire misstatement.
Our only issue is ISC for minors - see the vendors
published information.
 
Let me see - Friday the Mercury News published that
2 NASA employees had been fired and indicted for
downloading child pornography on their work computers.
- Which directors would be willing to accept personnal
liability for having them participate as school volunteers?
 (even at this early criminal stage?)
 
Steven  (always buckles his seat belt)
 
 
PS  Bill O' was worried about this type of liability not
being covered by the SJAA when he resigned as director
and school volunteer.  But don't rely on me: call him!
