NOCCCD is self-insured against property loss and liability claims through a Joint Powers of Authority, Alliance of Schools for Cooperative Insurance Programs (ASCIP). Claims against the District must be presented on the District Claim form. Small, minor property claims are handled in-house, using the Property Claim Release forms. Both forms are available via myGateway.
