How Rising Healthcare Costs Are Reshaping Education
Healthcare costs are consuming a growing share of school district budgets—and the consequences extend far beyond employee benefits. In this episode of School Business Insider, host John Brucato is joined by Elleka Yost and Jim Rowan of ASBO International to discuss the findings of a new national report released jointly by ASBO International and AASA: Rising Premiums, Falling Opportunities: The Budgetary Impact of Healthcare Costs on School Districts. Drawing on responses from more than 750 school leaders across 42 states, the report reveals how rising healthcare costs are forcing districts to make difficult choices involving staffing, instructional materials, technology investments, capital projects, and student programs. The conversation explores the drivers behind these increases, the financial realities facing districts, and the advocacy efforts needed to address one of the most significant budget challenges in public education today.
