Board hears intercategory budget transfer request; staff briefed on health-plan cost-sharing changes

Vice Chairperson Nicole Kramer provided a recap of the Oct. 14 meeting and noted that Miss Acton presented an intercategory budget transfer request and a health insurance update to the Charles County Board of Education.

Acton told the board there will be slight increases in employee co-pays for the coming year but “no increase in premiums or co-pays for the retiree plan,” according to the meeting record. The board encouraged staff to ensure that employees receive adequate advance communication about those changes.

The transcript does not record a formal vote or approval on the transfer request, and no dollar amounts or specific line items were stated. The transfer request was presented; the board's action recorded in the transcript was to urge staff to communicate the insurance changes to employees.
