    Rate update for July 1, 2022: The District health insurance rates will have a 0% overall rate change effective July 1, 2022. Note this is an overall percentage and there will be slight changes to the specific plan rates.  Due to the District’s health plan increase in claims and costs, the rate for this year should have increased by 2.6%. The Insurance Committee recommended and the Board approved utilizing dollars from the Self-Insured Health Fund to provide a lower rate for the 2022-2023 year. The District remains mindful of relying on the Self-Insured Health Fund to lower rates and is optimistic members will continue to be conscientious health care consumers, resulting in lower than expected claims and costs next year.
