At this time we go to B1 review and discussion approve the student athletic insurance. Good afternoon Mr. President members of the board requested the
003district went out for bid for student athletic insurance. We received four um bits uh student insurance plans Texas insurance players held new clerk and newer that one was incomplete so we didn't take into consideration um the total cost for each was 27,62 for student insurance plans Texas insurance 29,862 play all three includes a basic plan that catastrophic and it includes K through 12 all activities any sponsor activities doesn't matter >> any UI yes who did we have before >> we had student insurance plan >> which had quoted us at 44,62 >> I did talk to them >> what's the discrepancy there like for me that's like a red flag >> just claim that Um the prior carrier was Paname Live and when they went out they uh they uh they uh basically they requested as
004well. Uh they went through with New York Life. >> So is this a separate code? >> No, that's the same code. what they're doing is with their broker. didn't provide >> they had paname they went I know that um back in right after the board meeting they board had approved it they had that they provided which is New York life uh they were going to re uh revise the proposal but I didn't contact them because we had already uh >> decided or the board decided Governor B. So I didn't want to have any communication with them or or send me a proposal and I didn't want to out of the process. >> Was it 25 393 >> 27 27 29 35 >> Okay. Can you go? Okay. So, we have student insurance plans for 27,062.
005>> Yes. >> And then we have Texas insurance for 29,862. >> Yes. >> Players health for 35,498. And that's it. >> Incomplete. Yeah. The other one's incomplete. >> It's incomplete. >> So, just so we know. >> And is are they both all apples to apples? >> Yes. Um I know that for example they have a little um for example hospital miscellaneous here on on the benefits the current plan has $550 benefits per state Texas insurance have 500 but $50 physician visit uh up to $45 for student plan uh Texas insurance 40 $40 it's very compatible very 455 $5. >> Mr. Gonzalez, have you ever had issues with the insurance we have right now? Yeah. Insurance company. I just recommend one thing before before we make a motion. I just recommend that for the next year.
006I think we should go out for bids at least once a year because I know we always just renew renewal renewal. I just think that of course we went out for bid. I think the following year instead of doing a renewal, let's go out for bid instead again and let's see how the number change. Of course, it will change because when it comes to student when student insurance, it's the same thing as a PNC pro it's a game probably PNC is going to balance out go up sometimes we think it was it was super high last year compared to this year. So the PNC will change the same athletic insurance. So my thing is I think we should just go out for bids from now. >> Yeah. We're saving $19,000. >> Yeah. From the same
007company. >> Yeah. plan is set to be honored for two years. >> So this is a plan the same price for two years >> even if we have claims. >> Yeah. >> Oh, that's not bad. I think but I think you're right. >> We need to >> Who's the agent for this New York Life student athletic insurance? Student insurance. >> Who's the agent? So to be clear, um this covers like when a student gets injured in PE at the elementaryaries impact, right? I just want >> to check because >> Yes. Cuz I know a parent had questioned me that a child had gotten hurt at the elementary and they had told them that the school didn't cover. >> No. Go ahead. And that Okay. And the and the principles explain because I think that that
008time the parents had to take care of it. The school didn't help them. >> It's just the second time that prior years that left this last year. >> So barely last year it was the lower. Okay. All right. Any other questions? >> No, I just want to state something. For me, it's just kind of like trust issues now because how come they went from 44,000 to >> cuz it's a different >> But they could have done Yeah, they could have they saw competition. For me, it's >> it's just a renewal. I mean, that's the thing that when it's a renewal, of course, everybody going to work. Oh, when there's competition, that's when you're going to >> They could have said that we can help you out with this. You can have >> I agree. Yeah,
009they could have helped us out before we even went out as for bids. >> But I mean, for now, >> Yeah. Yeah. 17,000. >> So, at this time, I'm just going to uh Mr. Ivan, whatever you feel comfortable with cuz that's who you feel with student insurance because you're the ones who going to deal with, not us. All right. So, at this time, I'll need a motion. No, the it was there was a comedian. How many years have we had him? One >> uh went back we went back all the way to her system. It was 2015. We had >> 10 years. And they never quoted us differently. It's just this this this add more line. >> Yeah, it could have gone both ways and change company. No, but that's a lot to It's a
010lot for two years. >> And it's in it's it's in paper, right? They they said it's going to be two years and >> I make a motion to approve student insurance plan renew. I guess it's a renewal. >> no. Um insurance plan of the athletic athletic insurance program. I second the motion. >> Motion by Miss uh Reena Martinez. Uh Martinez second. All in favor say I. I. >> All say nay. >> Nay. Nay. >> One two. >> Okay. Let's do Okay. All in favor say I. One two. >> Three four three. Okay. Motion passes. At this time we go to discussion and budget of tax rate calendar. Yes sir. This is just for uh you the states that we're planning uh August 11 to have a but I just wanted uh inform the board coming
011up for August 11 uh that's when we uh having the meeting to approve this calendar the tax rate and then on August 27th to approve uh the tax rate and the budget. >> This 11 27th right? Yes. >> Let me just add something. If you if you go to August 22nd where it says deadline to call for an election. As you know, we were talking about having a tax election in November. However, as we mentioned in one of the meetings before, we're going to be able to use the disaster pennies, and that's going to be the recommendation, not to have the election. Just move forward with the disaster pennies because if we don't use them, and and yes, we will lose those. So, uh, that's going to be something that we will bring to you
012in August. >> We don't need it cuz we're going to use a disaster penny. >> No, we don't need it. >> But we don't need it this year. >> We'll be fine this year. Yes. >> Mhm. >> That's it.
