At their 20 October 2026 board meeting trustees of the McAllen Independent School District will be reminded they have a $9,000,000 to $12,000,000 health insurance problem.
The good news is they should feel much better knowing the Brownsville Independent School District just down the road has a $28,000,000 health insurance headache.
What do both districts have in common? And what is going to be their solution? Read on and find out.
Who set the funding rates each year? Was it marketing or underwriting? There’s not an actuary on the planet, living or dead, that gets it this wrong three years in a row.
The next slide is interesting. Looks like they have a stop loss problem and the broker is involved in solving it – could this be an E&O claim too?
McAllen’s solution to managing health care costs includes more money and less choice.
Check out the Edinburg Independent School District a stone’s throw from McAllen. They aren’t doing much better these days despite their current ASO plan is free.
