Summary
District announced an employee health insurance review and bid process; the board will appoint members (two volunteered at the meeting) to serve on the committee and expect a recommendation by February or March.
District staff told the Bolivar R‑I Board of Education they are conducting a health insurance review and bid process and will convene a team composed of staff representatives, administrators and board members to evaluate proposals and recommend a plan.
Mike Pitch described an “active listening process” that includes input from other districts, consultants and district staff. He said the team will evaluate the current plan, review proposals and bring a recommendation to the board in February or March. “Our goal is to provide strong benefits for our employees at the most cost effective way,” Pitch said.
President Ron asked for two board members to serve; board members Lynn and Ron both volunteered to participate on the review team during the meeting. Pitch said the review team will finalize membership soon and begin evaluating proposals and staff feedback.
The board did not take a procurement vote that evening; the team will return with a recommendation later in the fiscal year.
