Perry Co. 32 to keep OSBA medical coverage and add Delta Dental amid premium changes
Summary
Board reviewed two insurance proposals, agreed to the OSBA medical plan despite a reported premium increase and selected Delta Dental for dental coverage; the district will continue contributing $650 per month toward employee plans.
Board members reviewed employee insurance bids and voted to accept the district's benefits subcommittee recommendation to keep the OSBA medical plan and switch dental coverage to Delta Dental.
District staff described a three-year review cycle and said two plans had been presented. "We decided to go with OSBA for medical, keeping all of our choices we have currently," a staff presenter said, noting a roughly 6% increase in premiums this year but highlighting that the district has not raised premiums in the two prior years. The presenters added that employees will continue to be able to choose among available plans and that the district will maintain a contribution of $650 per month toward those plans.
Board member questions focused on deductible changes and plan options. The board then approved the OSBA insurance bid for the 2025–26 school year by voice vote; the motion was made, seconded and carried.
The board also noted the addition of Delta Dental as the recommended dental plan and asked staff to finalize vendor contracts and notify employees of enrollment deadlines.
Next steps: staff to execute the vendor contracts, communicate plan details and premium impacts to employees, and report any implementation issues back to the board.
