    public agency risk management association SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHAPTER MEETING WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2019 Meeting Agenda 8:00-9:00 a.m. Registration and Continental Breakfast 9:00-9:15 a.m. Welcome and Introductions 9:15-10:30 a.m. Student Safety – From Schoolhouse to Court of Law Presenter: Brad Keenan – Keenan & Associates (1 CE - Certicate provided) Besides educating students, schools have a priority to maintain a safe environment for them. School ocials act in “loco parentis” (Latin for “in the place of a parent”) when they are in their care. They have the duty and responsibility to prevent foreseeable dangers from harming students. So the questions looms, to what degree are schools and districts liable for student’s safety? This session will explore legal disputes over who’s responsible, legal issues, allegations that vary, and what they mean in terms of a school or district’s role, responsiveness, and protocol that may, or may not, be sucient to prevent such incidents from happening with eventual rulings/verdicts in favor of the families. BRAD KEENAN is an Account Executive at Keenan & Associates. Brad joined Keenan & Associates in 2013. He is a 3rd generation Keenan at the rm and is the grandson of the Founder, John Keenan. Brad focuses the majority of his attention to the growth of Keenan’s public agency property and casualty business, especially in Southern California. He is one of the experts in the company for Cyber Liability and frequently speaks at school, community college, and city government conferences. Brad is a licensed Fire & Casualty Agent/Broker.
