Value Added Programs

The Illinois Principals Association is fortunate to partner with a variety of organizations who share in our common mission of advancing learning through effective educational leadership. Don’t hesitate to tap into these outstanding resources that will add value to you both personally and professionally.

Association Member Benefits Advisors

The IPA has teamed up with Association Member Benefits Advisors (AMBA) to make member only benefits available to you. You will find many insurance related benefits available at special group rates along with numerous merchant discounts. Please take a moment to review all that is available to you.

Auto Insurance

Horace Mann’s Educator Advantage auto insurance program provides value-added features and benefits at no extra charge for educators. Plus, IPA members earn an additional discount in addition to Horace Mann’s special rates for educators. Find out more about The Horace Mann Companies at www.horacemann.com.

BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative

The BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative provides school districts with an opportunity to save time and money while purchasing the products they use every day. School districts can benefit from BuyBoard, which was developed to comply with state laws requiring government entities to make purchases from an approved list of vendors who have gone through a competitive bidding process. BuyBoard is supported by the Illinois Principals Association, Illinois Association of School Administrators, and the Illinois Association of School Boards. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to save precious dollars.

Ed Leaders Network

The Ed Leaders Network (ELN) is grounded in the belief that educational leaders impact student performance. With this foundational belief at the ELN’s core, multiple state principal associations have partnered together to provide you high quality, on-demand professional development webinars to enhance your leadership growth. A dynamic professional networking community has also been created to allow you to interact with your peers and leadership experts from across the country. In short, the ELN’s mission is to provide you the professional development content and capacity building professional network you need to do what’s best for your students and learning community. Learn more at www.edleadersnetwork.org.

SchoolGuard

The SchoolGuard® app provides a panic button for teachers and staff by immediately alerting nearby law enforcement through the Hero911® rapid-response network while simultaneously calling 911 with the touch of a single button. There is a one-time only setup/activation fee of $1,000 per property (discounted with multiple properties within a district) and a monthly service fee thereafter of $99 per property which includes unlimited, approved users. Learn more at http://schoolguard.guard911.com/

Illinois Retired Teachers Association

The IPA will pay retired members’ dues for IRTA during the duration of the retired individuals’ membership with IPA. According to IPA Executive Director Jason Leahy, “The IPA is pleased to have the opportunity to provide this additional benefit to our retired members. The IPA has always viewed IRTA as a close partner. The joint membership offers both organizations the opportunity to strengthen our relationship particularly where pension related matters are concerned.” Please contact Lisa Thoele, IPA Membership Coordinator, at lisa@ilprincipals.org with questions. Visit http://www.irtaonline.org/ to learn more about the Illinois Retired Teachers Association.

ISDA

Deans who become members of IPA will have their Illinois State Dean Association (ISDA) dues paid by IPA. Information about ISDA can be found at www.isda.us/.

NaviGate Prepared
