Members of the Broward School Board agreed to leave once the Insurance Advisory Committee Tuesday coveted, the result of escalating criticism of health insurance rates and permanent control over the business of how the district does.

The Board unanimously agreed to the recommendation of Superintendent Jim Notter, get more Council members to the Commission, if the Council so far had three positions. The insurance committee recommendations Notter, who presents the issues that the School Board.

“ Until this is something that comes back to the board, I do not need the participation of the Commission of the front,''a member of Board Kevin Tynan said.

With other changes, the commission will be reduced from 16 members to 14.

Last week, three members of the Committee requested Council being replaced. The voltage of the panel of two insurance providers to one, Vista Healthplan, in recent years – and this year accepted an increase of up to 45 percent of insurance rates for dependents of employees, effective Jan. 1.

District staff reviewed the composition of committees of insurance systems in other large Florida school and found no groups in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Orange, Hillsborough and Duval includes members of the board.

Broward County Board members said Tuesday it was not necessary to be on the committee – that while they may discuss any change in length before a vote.

The Broward Teachers Union has criticized the number of board members of the commission is too high. BTU President Pat Santeramo also has a seat in the commission, although he and Dan Reynolds, president of the Public Employees Federation, ceased to attend meetings of protest earlier this year.

Santeramo said the insurance committee with members from the area too much and not enough on the contribution of employee groups.
