TSHBP member school districts exiting the TSHBP health insurance program for Texas school districts must provide written notice of termination no later than 120 days before each renewal date.
The Texas Schools Health Benefits Program Interlocal Agreement stipulates: “This Agreement may be terminated by either party on any successive renewal date by giving written notice no later than one hundred twenty (120) days before the renewal date or as provided by the Program Bylaws.“
What if a renewal offer is not made until 30, 60 or 90 days out and the district has not given notice of termination by the termination deadline which is 120 days out?
To our knowledge the TSHBP has not provided renewal offers yet. That should be worrisome since the notice of termination deadline for member districts renewing September 1 is a scant eight days away.
Most member districts renew September 1. They may find themselves between a rock and a hard place.
