Summary
At its April meeting the board approved certified, administrative and support staff contracts, selected Medical Associates Option B for health insurance, approved Madison National Life contracts for disability coverage, Delta Dental for dental coverage, several volunteer and extra‑duty positions, and an overnight HOSA CERT trip.
The Cuba City School Board completed a package of personnel and benefits actions at Monday's meeting. Below are the motions the board approved and brief context for each.
What the board approved
- Certified staff contracts: Personnel committee said the collective bargaining agreement aligns with the referendum budget; board approved so contracts can be issued before May 15.
- Administrative contracts: Board approved a 2.5% increase for most administrative staff and a 2% increase for the superintendent, consistent with referendum planning.
- Support staff contracts and wage increases: Approved increases (generally ~2%) as included in the referendum salary schedule.
- Medical Associates (Option B) for 2026–27 staff health insurance: After evaluating HSA alternatives and market bids, the personnel committee recommended Medical Associates Option B (estimated ~6% increase from the prior plan) to maintain continuity of providers and preserve employee cost structures.
- Madison National Life short‑term disability contract: Approved as presented.
- Madison National Life three‑year extension for long‑term disability: Approved as presented.
- Delta Dental for dental insurance: Board approved remaining with Delta Dental after proposals because the majority of staff use local Cuba City dental providers who are not in network for some other proposals.
- Overnight trip for Wisconsin HOSA CERT training (July 13–15, Stevens Point): Approved; district expects students to receive first‑responder training and noted a second chaperone is required.
- Extra‑duty job descriptions: Approved updated descriptions for seven middle/high school roles (athletic director, forensics coach, team leader, NHS adviser, POMS coach, robotics coach, etc.).
- Volunteer approvals: Paul Cook for HOSA assistant supervisor and Ron Kading as volunteer high‑school softball coach were approved.
Votes and process: Motions were made by personnel committee members and passed by roll call; the transcript records each motion as "motion carried" following roll‑call responses. Board members asked clarifying questions about networks, employee impacts, and the potential employer cost of benefits during the benefits discussion.
Next steps: Contracts will be sent to affected staff; benefits changes will be implemented for the 26–27 plan year and department budgets will be updated accordingly.
