Legal: Jacquie Shipma (handout on the CSD Insurance Trust
given at meeting)
A judge has ruled that the Normandy School district is still
unaccredited.
Due to a court ruling in October 2014 the CSD (Cooperating School
Districts) Insurance Trust amended their plan so that same-sex spouses could be
added to insurance plans. Questions were
raised in the Ritenour School District when a retiree tried to add a same-sex
spouse. It was determined that they
could and notification was sent out to Ritenour retirees.
Jacquie needs to know information from other districts in the CSD
Insurance Trust. Please gather the following information and send to Jacquie
Shipma.
1.
If the district is one covered by the CSD
Insurance Trust, did active employees get notification of the same sex spouse
coverage?
2.
If the district is one covered by the CSD
Insurance Trust, did retirees get notification of the same sex spouse coverage?
3.
If the district is one covered by the CSD
Insurance Trust, and notification was received, did anyone try to enroll a same
sex spouse but had that coverage denied based on the date the marriage took
place?
4.
If the district is not one covered by the CSD
Insurance Trust, has the district notified employees, both active and retired,
of the ability to cover same sex spouses under the district’s
insurance?
