Summary
After an RFP process, district HR staff recommended Mark 3 Employee Benefits as the finalist to serve as the district’s benefits broker; the selection will be on the April 21 agenda with no changes to benefits this calendar year.
Oconee County Schools human resources staff on April 14 recommended Mark 3 Employee Benefits as the district’s benefits broker following a formal RFP process and said the selection will be considered by the board at the April 21 meeting.
HR staff said Alexander and Company had served as the district’s benefits broker for 15 years and that the RFP evaluation included application review, interviews, presentations and reference checks.
