NJSBAIG purchases SchoolDude online work order management system for members.

April 23, 2010 (BURLINGTON, NJ) – In response to new legislation requiring school districts to manage maintenance activities through an automated work order system, the New Jersey School Boards Association Insurance Group (NJSBAIG) has partnered with SchoolDude to offer members an online solution at no cost. SchoolDude is a leading provider of operations management solutions designed exclusively for schools, colleges and universities.

Under N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-6.9, school districts with three or more buildings are required to utilize an automated system to prioritize and track maintenance and repair requests for all district buildings and grounds. To help members meet this requirement, NJSBAIG is offering a complimentary one-year subscription to SchoolDude’s MaintenanceDirect system. MaintenanceDirect is an online work order management solution that fully automates communications, scheduling and reporting related to maintenance activities.

“SchoolDude’s MaintenanceDirect system is an effective risk management solution,” stated NJSBAIG Loss Control Manager Tony Jones. “Districts that proactively schedule and track their maintenance activities can reduce their loss exposure and ultimately drive down Property, Liability and Workers’ Compensation insurance costs.”

NJSBAIG will provide members a one-year subscription to SchoolDude’s MaintenanceDirect system plus user training at no cost. For members already using MaintenanceDirect, NJSBAIG will pay the annual subscription fee upon renewal. Member districts must have their Property coverage with NJSBAIG to qualify.

“We fully recognize the financial constraints under which our member districts are operating today,” said NJSBAIG Director Marty Kalbach. “With school budgets already stretched beyond their limits, we are pleased to offer this value-added benefit to our members to bring them into compliance with this unfunded state mandate.”
