Every one is skirting around the twenty ton elephant in the CCSD classroom. Teachers, administrators, school board and politicians.
The elephant in the room is the teacher's insurance company- Teacher's Health Trust which is run by the CCEA or the teacher's union.
When was the last time the school board and the CCSD administration put the health insurance for it's employees up for a bid?
As a teacher, I have no choice about which insurance I can have to take- it's the teacher union's health insurance.
Why not let other insurance companies come in and bid on the health insurance contract? Why not allow teachers to choose between different health insurance companies?
As a user of the Teacher's Trust health insurance, I find entirely lacking in quality, so giving competition to the teacher's health insurance company may improve health care for it's teachers.
All of this could save money for CCSD and of course, it will help the children.
