California Schools Joint Powers Authority (CSJPA) is a member-driven public entity formed under California law that partners with K-12 school districts, community colleges and related educational agencies to provide employee benefits, risk management, and insurance-related services. It brings together multiple public education agencies to pool resources and jointly exercise shared powers, helping members manage costs and improve services. CSJPA operates through two principal JPA program areas: (1) Employee Benefits (CSEBA) — offering group health and welfare plans, wellness support, strategic planning, and enrollment facilitation. (2) Risk Management & Insurance Services (CSRM) — including workers’ compensation, property and liability coverage, claims handling, safety training, and loss control services designed to reduce exposure and support safer school environments. Governed by representatives elected from its member agencies, CSJPA helps districts control administrative costs, leverage collective purchasing power, and access specialized programs that might be difficult to obtain individually.
