Board sets aside up to $300,000 for benefit claims

What happened

The board created a liability reserve of up to $300,000 after its former employee-benefit administrator ceased operations.

Why it matters to families

The reserve is intended to support eligible employee claims while the district moves benefits administration to new providers.

The evidence

The September 17 agenda records a 6–0 consent vote. In the meeting, the business administrator said the reserve is precautionary and that the amount ultimately needed was not yet known.
