Summary
After a district scoring committee reviewed proposals, the Vidor ISD board approved ranking Next Level Urgent Care as the chosen provider for a proposed employee supplemental health plan and delegated authority to the superintendent to negotiate the contract if it is feasible within the budget.
The Vidor ISD Board of Trustees on July 28 approved a committee recommendation to rank Next Level Urgent Care as the district’s chosen provider for an optional employee supplemental health benefit.
Superintendent and staff explained a committee of five scored two vendor proposals on a five‑point scale across five categories; the committee unanimously recommended Next Level. The board’s action authorized the superintendent to determine feasibility within the district budget and, if feasible, negotiate and execute a contract.
District staff noted Next Level offered additional services and had statewide facilities compared with a competitor that had one site in Beaumont. “Next Level provided a fee a couple more benefits that were, of high interest,” a staff member said during discussion. Trustees approved the ranking and delegation by a 5‑0 vote; the board did not yet execute a contract pending budget review.
What happens next: the superintendent will confirm affordability within the FY2025‑26 budget, then may finalize contract terms and present implementation details to the board as part of compensation/benefits renewal.
