Statewide School Pool
 
At our annual Health Care Summit in May 2010, CECHCR presented its new position paper and model design for a statewide public education risk pool. Based on interviews with 21 stakeholder groups, this design will now be further studied by CECHCR members and others, working toward consensus on this issue.

CECHCHR's School Pool Position Paper was developed in follow-up to legislation and an initial study. AB 256, signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2005, commissioned an exploratory study of a statewide risk pool for public education.  The feasibility study was then commissioned by CalPERS and conducted by March Mercer Kroll (Mercer).

The Mercer Report found that potential savings of up to $401 million per year would be possible if a statewide pool were to be implemented.  CECHCR has taken the lead in further exploration of the school pool concept.
