Learn About FSBIT

We started in 1981 with a simple idea - to manage risk and reduce exposures for our member districts.
 

FSBIT Staff



All FSBIT employees are committed to serving member districts in ways that both save resources and protect school district staff and physical assets. This shared belief that "every dollar saved through loss prevention or efficient claims processing is a dollar returned to the schools" has helped to turn that commitment into professional practices completed by dedicated staff.
