District news
Health insurance renewal up 25% for next year
What happened
On Oct. 26 the board heard that the district's health insurance renewal came in 25% higher, driven mostly by drug costs. Staff compared renewing the current fully insured plan with moving to a self-funded plan. Earlier, the board voted in September to join a group studying a multi-district insurance consortium.
Why it matters to families
Insurance is a large and growing part of the budget, which adds pressure on the referendum and next year's spending. For 2026 the increase had been held to 8.5%.
