School district changes health insurers

By Kristen Garrett
Herald Staff Writer

Another school district has voted to leave the Western Pennsylvania Health Care Consortium.

The consortium -- which provides health care coverage to member schools' employees -- was about $4 million in debt and the 12 member districts received large, unexpected bills in February to bail out the consortium.

Reynolds Area School Board voted last week to withdraw from the consortium, effective July 1.

Directors also voted to join the Midwestern Health Combine Health Insurance Consortium.
