Patrick Swayze, actress - Julia Rob-
erts, sport - basketball, athlete -

When she graduates, she plans

she ever received was “stay in
school and never give up.” If she
could change anything, she would
change the past two years. If she
could say thank you to anyone, it
would be to her mother because she
has been there for her through ev-
erything.

Group recognizes LISD for safety programs
From staff reports
Leonard ISD, represented by Super-
intendent Glynn Walker, was recognized
by the East Texas Educational Insurance
Association for success in implementing
safety programs designed to prevent em-
ployee injuries in the workplace. Awards
were presented at the Annual Apprecia-
tion Luncheon in Austin. Designed and
administered by Claims Administrative
Services, Inc. (CAS), the program spe-
cializes in safety procedures designed to
prevent and reduce workplace injuries.
The workers ’ compensation program has
assisted Texas schools in avoiding over
11,523 employee injuries since 1991.
Plus, districts have saved over $135 mil-
lion dollars through lower costs.
Leonard ISD, one of more than 423
participating schools, received the Re-
sourceful Award for significant savings
to the district as of Aug. 31,2001. Wesley
Slade, Executive Vice-President of CAS,
describing the program, explained, ‘Tax-
payers will be gratified to know the re-
sults of participating in the CAS safety
program- reduction of injuries and money
saved- have raised the bar for all Texas
schools for reduction of work-related in-
juries. At CAS, the number one priority
is providing the safest possible workplace
for district employees while keeping costs
at a minimum.”
Barry Jones, CEO/President of CAS,
explained, “Our insurance programs were
created to offer the safest working condi-
tions and the lowest cost for Texas school
districts, creating savings of tax dollars
while providing safer work environments
for employees. Twelve years of success
for this program is proof of the district's
and CAS’ commitment to providing
Texas schools with the safest working eri- 0
vironment for school employees and the
lowest cost to the district”
