Board votes to join ISC cooperative for medical insurance pending superintendent review
Summary
The board voted unanimously to join the ISC cooperative for employee medical insurance pending superintendent review by Feb. 28, 2025; the ISC quote projects a 1.6% increase compared with a prior 17% increase estimate.
Dakota CUSD #201 voted to join the ISC cooperative for medical insurance on a 2–3 year commitment, pending final review by the superintendent on Feb. 28, 2025. Shane Riggle moved the motion, seconded by Jeremy Bradt; the motion passed 7–0.
Administrators said the ISC cooperative, which includes over 14 districts and 2,000+ insured members, can offer a larger risk pool while allowing the district to retain its existing benefit packages. The district's broker, Arthur J. Gallagher (AJG), initiated a quote that projected an estimated 1.6% premium increase for Dakota compared with an earlier initial projection of 17%—a large potential cost-savings difference if finalized.
