Summary

Committee members said the school board requested financial information about rejoining the county insurance plan; staff provided logistical options but said there has been no formal BOE vote and any return would require a county commission vote.

During other business the committee discussed an inquiry from the school board about rejoining the county insurance plan. A committee member asked for an update after seeing the topic mentioned in a school board workshop.

Staff said they provided the school board with financial logistics and options for what a return might look like but that no formal vote or movement has occurred. "We gave them the financial logistics... So at this time, there's nothing more to report than that," one committee member said. Ed Elam added that, because of timing, it would be difficult to accomplish this year and that the county commission would ultimately need to vote on any change.

The committee noted that rejoining a county plan involves multiple steps and votes and that staff would bring the matter to the commission if the school board pursues it further. No formal action was taken at the meeting.
