ABCover Welcomes Esteemed Educator and Superintendent Dr. Jeff Collum as Strategic Advisor & Ambassador
Nashville, TN – September 12, 2025 — ABCover, a leader in customized insurance solutions for America’s school districts, is proud to announce the addition of Dr. Jeff Collum as its newest Strategic Advisor and Ambassador. A seasoned district-level leader with nearly three decades of experience across Arkansas and Texas, Dr. Collum brings a powerful blend of practical insight, educational vision, and operational know-how to ABCover’s expanding coalition of education change-makers.
From his former roles as teacher, principal, and assistant superintendent to serving as Superintendent of multiple districts—including his most recent leadership at Hallsville ISD, one of Texas’ top-performing public-school systems—Dr. Collum has built a career rooted in trust, innovation, and resilience. His first-hand understanding of the real-world pressures school districts face—from staff absences to funding unpredictability—aligns directly with ABCover’s mission to provide budget certainty in uncertain times.
“ABCover’s innovative approach to helping districts manage the growing cost of staff absences isn’t just timely—it’s necessary,” said Dr. Collum. “Having led districts through tough financial seasons, I know how critical it is to have a partner who not only understands education but brings forward-thinking solutions to the table. That’s why I’m proud to serve as an advisor and ambassador for this important work.”
Dr. Collum’s appointment underscores ABCover’s commitment to making a meaningful difference in education—not just through products, but by surrounding the company with respected professionals who have walked in the shoes of superintendents, HR directors, and school finance officers.
“Dr. Collum brings the kind of voice we value deeply at ABCover,” said Kevin Stratton, CEO and co-founder of ABCover. “He’s seen it all—from the boardroom to the classroom—and he understands exactly what school leaders are up against. His input is already shaping how we serve our clients more effectively.”
As ABCover expands nationally, the strategic guidance of advisors like Dr. Collum ensures its solutions remain relevant, responsive, and grounded in the realities of public education.
