How Are Schools Protected?

It's simple!  Districts pay a single premium at the beginning of the fiscal year to cover all natural gas services for the year (from utility expenses to the gas itself).  No more gas utility bills.  The premium may be paid from the district's Management Fund according to an opinion issued by Iowa's Auditor of State.

Testimonials

Testimonial - Darwin Lehmann
Iowa LGRP's fixed annual premium for participation is one less thing I have to worry about.
Superintendents have more important issues to focus on than paying attention to natural
gas prices and how the variability will affect our district's budget.

Testimonial - Russ Retier
When natural gas prices skyrocketed in February 2021, our budget was protected with Iowa LGRP.
Not only did we not see the large invoices many other districts received from their providers,
but we received a premium refund for the year.

Testimonials
The Iowa LGRP is a tool our district uses to help mitigate the natural gas price volatility
we used to see in our General Fund.
