Advantages for Specializing in Public , Private and Charter Schools

Schools are everywhere and you (and your agency) are taxpayers!

Serving K-12 public schools typically means you'll end up sitting in front of a school board of directors or trustees. These individuals are often local professionals with other commercial and personal lines needs—and great connections to make for your growing book.

Schools are not generally an annual marketing event and they generally stick with the same insurance services for a three-year period. This gives agents stability from a revenue standpoint and a long-term period to build relationships.

Public and charter schools run like a business, this means their decisions are less political (and more logical) than public schools. If you provide the policy that makes the most sense, you’re likely to gain the account.

Once you place it and continue to service it properly, you’re likely to keep it.

Private and charter schools have straightforward processes and flat organizations. This lessens your time, and expenses, while binding business.

Serving private and charter schools typically mean you'll end up sitting in front of a board of directors or trustees. These people are often local professionals with other commercial and personal lines needs—and great connections to make for your growing book.

School bus contractors are a popular option for school districts because they hire local drivers, have a sole purpose and can save districts money. Even so, specialized insurance for school bus contractors are limited, and generally less competitive for agents.

Due to it being an underserved market, if you partner with a program that has a differentiating product with obvious coverage advantages, like Glatfelter, you’re likely to gain the account.

In most parts of the country, these risks can generate more than $30,000 in total revenue, exclusive of Workers' Compensation.

Glatfelter Public Entities is a true specialist in the public entity space, providing solutions for educational institutions, independent school bus contractors, municipalities, water entities and public entities.

We offer one of the broadest programs for educational institutions including K-12 public schools, private schools, charter schools, select religious schools, community & junior colleges, not-for-profit vocational schools, trade schools and independent school bus contractors.

Each of our public entity programs offer an array of coverages, industry-focused claims administration and client safety resources – all specific to each industry’s needs. Our associates have a wide-variety of expertise offering our clients risk management and coverage solutions, and offering our agents underwriting knowledge, industry expertise and sales assistance.

We understand the value of our partnerships. That’s why we’re always ready to get on sales calls with you, explain our coverage advantages and work together to bind business. Glatfelter programs boast retention level percentages in the 90s, with some reaching as high as 98 percent! This allows you to focus on growing new business rather than keeping it, while we do the rest.

We’re specialists and we work with agent partners to help you become the same. We provide you with a broad variety of educational opportunities and resources, including access to a dedicated underwriter, on-site training and an online portal so you can grow your book for the long-term.

We offer a Most Valuable Producer (MVP) loyalty program to provide dedicated agents with the benefits and rewards they deserve, including co-branded marketing materials, co-op advertising, early-access to programs and an invitation to our legendary MVP Conference.

According to the Better Business Bureau, 93% of American adults said that a company’s reputation for honesty and fairness was extremely important to them—and you know as well as we do that relationships are the backbone of insurance. That’s why we’ve built our programs around the unique needs of our clients, and we serve these industries with the highest integrity, responsiveness and dedication possible.
