    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.

  • A Roxbury Review: Conglomerates of Greater Boston
    C2-1 A ROXBURY REVIEW by Margaret D. Thompson, Department of Geosciences, Wellesley College Anne M. Grunow, Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University INTRODUCTION Conglomerate throughout the Boston Basin in eastern Massachusetts (Fig. 1) has long been called after the Roxbury district of Boston (early references in Holmes, 1859 and Shaler, 1869) and subdivided into three members typified by strata in the encircling communities of Brookline, Dorchester and the Squantum section of Quincy, MA (Emerson, 1917). NEIGC field trips, beginning with one led by W.O. Crosby in 1905, and also GSA-related field trips have provided regular opportunities for generations of geologists to debate the depositional settings of all of these rocks, particularly the possible glacial origin of the Squantum "Tillite". It appears, however, that none of these outings has ever included a stop in Roxbury itself (Table I and lettered localities in Fig. 1). A main purpose of this trip will be to visit the nominal Roxbury type locality in a section of the historic quarries where recent re-development includes the newly opened Puddingstone Park. Other stops will permit comparison of type Roxbury Conglomerate with other rocks traditionally assigned to this formation and highlight geochronological and paleomagnetic data bearing on the ages of these units.

  • Quincy Bay: Background Analysis
    State Water Survey Division SURFACE WATER SECTION AT THE Illinois Department of UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Energy and Natural Resources Miscellaneous Publication 69 QUINCY BAY: BACKGROUND ANALYSIS AND A PROPOSED PLAN OF ACTION by J. Rodger Adams Champaign, Illinois October 1982 Quincy Bay: Background Analysis and a Proposed Plan of Action Introduction Quincy Bay is a complex backwater along the Mississippi River adjacent to the City of Quincy, Illinois. Hunting, fishing, and boating are common in the bay. Sediment accumulation in Quincy Bay has been a concern for many years. The change in water flow patterns and sediment deposition following the opening of a small boat access channel in the late 1960's has increased the concern. Local citizens have requested corrective action since 1975. This report presents a summary of existing data, some of which has been provided by a citizens group. The available information is not adequate to determine the best means of alleviating the sedimentation problem. Thus, this report outlines a proposal to conduct a complete study of the hydraulics and sedimentation of Quincy Bay. This study would produce recommendations to alleviate the sedimentation problem. Description of Quincy Bay On most maps (USGS, 1971; Corps of Engineers, 1978) Quincy Bay is a 3-mile long by 400 to 2000 ft wide body of water extending north along the bluff line in Illinois from mile 327 above Cairo, Illinois on the Upper Mississippi River. The City of Quincy is located near the bay outlet. An associated complex of interconnected channels and small bays lies to the west of Quincy Bay proper.

PUB DATE 1998-05-00 NOTE 221p.; Ph.D. Dissertation, Boston College. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses Doctoral Dissertations (041) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC09 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Administrators; Boards of Education; *Community Colleges; *Educational Change; *Educational History; Elementary Secondary Education; *Governance; Government School Relationship; Multicampus Colleges; Two Year Colleges IDENTIFIERS Quincy College MA ABSTRACT This study traces the evolution of Quincy Junior College, the third largest community college in Massachusetts, from its founding in 1956 to the present. As one of two municipal two-year colleges in the nation, Quincy presents an interesting case study of how a community college fared under city school board governance. This dissertation explores Quincy's history, the movement from individual control, clashes of organizational culture between the college and school system, and factors that ultimately forced the college's separation. Chapters include the following: (1) Introduction;(2) Related Literature; (3) Individual Leadership and Control: 1948-1986;(4) The Institution Comes of Age: 1985-1991;(5) Struggle Towards Resolution: 1991-1996;(6) Divergent Paths: An Analysis of Change at Quincy College; and (7) Implications: The Road Not Taken. An epilogue reviews events occurring from 1996 and 1997, such as the college's re-accreditation and the layoff of many of the college's senior leaders. Appended are enrollment statistics, and three charts illustrating Quincy's history. (Contains 74 references).
