• Scarsdale School Board Approves Stop-Loss Insurance Renewal After Sharp Premium Increase (scarsdale10583.com) — Scarsdale's Board of Education has renewed its stop-loss insurance at a 49% higher premium, keeping the current $300,000 deductible to protect the district's self-funded employee health plan from catastrophic claims. Consultants warned that recent large claims limited insurer options and drove costs up, and officials signaled that controlling future health expenses will remain a major financial challenge for Scarsdale schools.
