to be covered by the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Fund. Any

experience and annual payroll. Claim. in excess of the District'. retention
experienoe are paid by a Central Fund within the group and, if necessary, by an
insurance company carrying excess liability coverage.
14. Commitments and contingencies
