History

Rocky Mountain Risk Insurance Group

Rocky Mountain Risk Insurance Group was established in 1973, The Adams Board of Cooperative Educational Services has evolved to provide a wide variety of cooperative programs throughout its long history.

While many BOCES groups provide special education and other services, the primary function of the Rocky Mountain Risk Insurance Group has been to provide risk management and insurance services to our member districts.

Rocky Mountain Risk Insurance Group Self Insurance Pool

For over 30 years we have been providing insurance services for our Members.  In 1979, Adams County School Board members formed the first Self Insurance Pool in Colorado to provide stability in insurance rates and to make sure that coverage was available to Adams County Schools.  Through the ups and downs of the insurance market cycles the same team of five school districts have cooperated to provide liability, property and workers’ compensation insurance coverage for our member districts at reasonable and consistent rates.

Group purchasing through Rocky Mountain Risk Insurance Group also provides participating member districts’ employees with group life and Employee Assistance Program.
