Health Insurance

The CEWW Health Insurance Consortium is a group of 16 area school districts that work together collectively to provide health insurance for district employees. The Consortium was formed in the early 1980’s for the purpose of purchasing insurance on a cooperative basis. They adjust to the needs of their members and the changing health care environment by working to provide best in class health coverage and in a fiscally responsible manner for its members and its component school districts.
