Supervisor: schools are on same county health plan; committee seeks clarity on contribution parity
Summary
Caitlin confirmed the county and schools are on the same health plan and that contribution ratios match; supervisors asked staff to verify tier-by-tier contribution parity and timing as open enrollment proceeds.
A committee member asked whether the schools and county use the same plan and contribute at the same rates. Caitlin confirmed: "Yes. We're on the same plan," and later clarified the schools use the same contribution structure as the county.
Supervisors expressed concern that open enrollment may limit options for the current year and asked staff to coordinate with school HR and the sheriff’s office when assembling benchmark data. The committee discussed whether the county and schools should be treated identically for any potential county-level action, noting the schools were not included in the immediate funding-request estimate (staff said the schools represent about 1,300 additional employees).
