Board member removes herself as account manager, will abstain from health-insurance votes
Summary
Theresa Hasz told the Granton Area School District board at its May 4 special meeting that she removed herself as account manager on the insurer's renewal exhibit after her election and will abstain from any votes related to health insurance; the board deferred a final health-insurance decision pending additional agent data.
During discussion of health-insurance renewal options, board member Theresa Hasz notified the board that the renewal exhibit listed her as the account manager but that she had removed herself since the recent election and that another account manager has been assigned. She said she will abstain from any votes related to health insurance. The board’s insurance agent is obtaining an additional month of data to determine whether a renewal rate can be reduced; the board agreed to revisit health-insurance renewal at a future regular meeting.
The notification from Hasz was presented to the board as a disclosure of a potential conflict of interest tied to the account-manager listing on renewal paperwork. The board did not take a vote on health insurance during the special meeting and moved forward with approval of dental and vision plans while leaving health coverage under further review.
