covered under the health insurance plan authorized by this subpart
prior to the date of the employeés

such employee, as the employeés
share of the cost of coverage under this plan, such portion of the

contracts issued in accordance with this subpart as may be

other health insurance plans administered by the board. In the
event that the commissioner shall determine that a local employer
has failed to contribute the full amount of such portion, as
calculated by the commissioner, it shall be the duty of the
commissioner to notify the State Board of Education of such failure

withhold from the employer which has failed to comply all
appropriations allotted to such employer until such employer has
fully complied with the provisions of this Code section by making
remittance of the sums required. (c) If a local school system elects not to
participate in the health insurance plan, the board may establish
regulations by which the employees of such local school system may
enroll as a group, provided an adequate participation percentage is
maintained to assure a sound policy of shared risk.
