Dear Robert DeVita,

Thank you for the speedy return of this information. This is very helpful. There must be some kind of analysis your broker prepares and shares with you and the board of why Self Insurance is cheaper via "a report/presentation". I would like to also have the full report for 21/22, 22/23 and 23/24 for Budget Details.
for 22/23 you included page 87 of 94 which was the "Employee Health Benefits" summary. I see on your website you have a condensed version for the year. I will put in a separate for that and look forward to what you broker shared for the past 3 budgets for a comparison to be sure self-insurance is the least expensive for the district to close out this request as complete.

Regards,

Betsy Cross

Mrs. Cross
My response for the presentation from the broker continues to be no
records exist.  
Can you please elaborate on exactly what you are looking for when you ask
for "  I would like to also have the full report for 21/22, 22/23 and
23/24 for Budget Details".  Based upon what you requested I am not 100%
sure.  
Thank you!
