November Superintendent Report
Litchfield Public Schools
November 19, 2018
District Audit
Copies of District Audit for the 2017-2018 fiscal period was given to all board members..
Insurance Increase
A copy of the increase for the renewal rates for health care in included. We are on a two year contract
so these numbers will take in effect for the 2019-20 school year. I have attached the section in the
negotiated contract with the teachers that addresses this. It is on section F1b that addresses the matter
for insurance and any increase by or elimination of current deductible by EHA (Educators Health
Alliance). In this case, EHA has eliminated the $900 deductible.
Therefore, the negotiated agreement states:
“The Board agrees to pay for any insurance increase during that time. Insurance will $900 deductible
for both years. If the EHA eliminates the $900 deductible option, the district will enroll in the next
higher comparable coverage and pay all increased cost.”
We would then go to the $1050 deductible.
I have discussed it with the LEA president and their lead negotiator and they agreed.
