School boards are already sagging with underfunding. Trimming insurance costs is just another column on the ledger.

I wish this would happen. Seriously. The amount school districts pay for insurance is crazy. Most school districts have at least a lawyer retained. The biggest school district my dad worked for had a whole law firm retained. The cost of insurance and lawyers takes so much away from our schools, yet people never seem to realize this when they sue. They don't seem to realize that the cost of a lawsuit is just going to be passed on to them and those around them in the end--in lost teachers, rising class sizes, and cut classes.
