Sunnyside Unified trust board reviews year‑end health plan finances; early 2024–25 shows two‑month loss

The Sunnyside Unified District trust board reviewed its employee health plan finances Sept. 19, hearing that the 2023–24 plan year finished with roughly $9.9 million in revenue and about $1.5 million in net income, but that the early 2024–25 results show a near‑term gap driven by medical and prescription claims.

Stephanie, the plan presenter, told the board the plan recorded contributions of about $8,000,000 for the July 2023–June 2024 year and total revenues near $9.9 million, an increase of roughly $480,000 from the prior year. Total expenses for the year were about $8.42 million — roughly $370,000 higher than the prior year — leaving net income of about $1.5 million after accounting for stop‑loss recoveries and incurred‑but‑not‑reported adjustments. Stephanie also reported the trust’s year‑end assets and liabilities were about $9.8 million on the balance sheet.
