Whitehall board approves joining Bridge Health Alliance for employee coverage
Summary
The board voted to sign participation and multi‑district agreements to join the Bridge Health Alliance educator health trust after the superintendent said the district's premium proposal would be roughly 6.2% lower than current rates; motion passed unanimously.
The superintendent recommended that the district join the Bridge Health Alliance, a nonprofit educator health trust created with state startup funding aimed at pooling educators in a single self‑funded plan. The superintendent said the district received a premium proposal that "would be 6.2% less than currently this year," and noted the union had reviewed documents and supported the move.
A board member moved to approve obtaining employee coverage from Bridge Health Alliance and to sign the participation and multi‑district agreements; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. The superintendent said the plan would take effect next year and that the trust would begin operations in July 2026.
