Tired of waiting for the Texas legislature to act in addressing crippling health care costs affecting hundreds of thousands of Texas educators, in 2019 the Raymondville Independent School District in deep South Texas decided to act.
They had three goals in mind: 1. Better benefits, 2. Lower rates, 3. 100% of all full time employees to be covered. They achieved all three goals.
Raymondville ISD is now entering their third plan year with no rate increase or benefit reductions since starting the plan in September 2019.
Officials of the Raymondville Independent School gave a presentation at the September 24, 2021 txEDCON TASA / TASB convention in Dallas about how their little rural public school district solved health care.
