About a third of Florida's 67 school districts have moved their employee health coverage into a shared self-insured trust, an arrangement that now covers roughly 65,000 public school employees and is designed to give small districts the purchasing position of a large one.
The Florida Educator Health Trust operates as a nonprofit under the umbrella of the Florida Association of District School Superintendents. Membership has grown to 23 districts, and the trust said its districts saved more than $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2026, according to reporting by the News Service of Florida.
