The Columbia Board of Education has asked the district to raise health insurance premiums by 20% for the upcoming school year.
That request came after a Thursday morning meeting. The district will take on the cost of the premiums next year, but will pass along costs of any dependents to employees.
This was nearly 10% lower than what the consultant recommended to fully cover the expected cost increases.
The increase will be part of next year’s budget which should be presented in May.
