The School Employees Health Care Board (SEHCB)

Summary The SEHCB is a hybrid administrative board that operates out of Ohio's Department of Administrative Services. It promulgates regulations that govern the health care plans of public school employees.

History After a year of detailed data collection, analysis, and consultation with experts and constituent groups, the Board, with the assistance of the Public Schools Health Care Advisory Committee, recommended establishing best practice standards, instead of a pooled arrangement, as the best means to improve health benefits for school employees and save money for the districts.

The legislature and governor, through Am. Sub. H.B. 119, supported this approach and other recommendations of the Board. These included expanding the Board by three positions to include representatives of non-administrative school employees, and changing the composition of the eighteen-member Advisory Committee to include representatives from the Ohio Federation of Teachers (OFT), the Ohio Association of Public School Employees (OAPSE) and the Buckeye Association of School Administrators (BASA). These changes allow better representation by groups impacted by the actions of the Board. Membership Stephen Loebs -- College of Public Health, OSU	12/31/2010
