Board approves consent agenda, insurance-rate adjustments and principals' contract
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda (6–0), set self-funded health and dental rate increases (approx. 10%) for 2026–27, and ratified a two-year principals/AP agreement (including 2% step increases and PTO changes), all by unanimous voice votes.
The board approved several action items on April 28, including the consent agenda, a resolution to establish self-funded group health and dental insurance rates for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027, and ratification of a two-year principals and assistant principals contract.
On the insurance resolution, Director Magnuson described an approximate 10% rate increase for medical Plan A and Plan B and a 10% increase to dental Plan A (no increase for dental Plan B), reflecting claims experience and a target reserve level for the district's self-funded plans. "We have about a little over a $3,000,000 balance in our self funded medical and dental plans... that's about 31 and a half percent of our expected claims; we're trying to target 45%," Magnuson said. The board approved the insurance-rate resolution by voice vote (motion passed 6–0).
Director of Labor Relations Gail Rochelle presented the principals/AP tentative agreement: a two-year package with 2% across steps 1–10 for both years, career-increment increases for years 11+, an increase in PTO days from 25 to 30, and phased district contributions to health insurance; principals ratified the agreement and the board approved it (6–0). The consent agenda (business and personnel items) also passed 6–0.
The approvals were recorded as routine board business; staff will complete contract paperwork and follow standard implementation steps.
