Union asks district to cover 19.5% insurance premium increase for 2026-27
Summary
The NPEA requested the district absorb a 19.5% increase in employee insurance costs for the 2026-27 year; the Board asked for clarification during the post-caucus discussion but took no action.
The New Plymouth Education Association formally requested that the district cover a 19.5% increase in insurance premiums for professional employees for the 2026–2027 school year. The request appears as item 3.1 in the meeting minutes: "We would like the District to cover the increase in insurance of 19.5% for the 2026-2027 school year for Professional Employees."
After the Board's caucus, trustees returned to the table and asked for clarification on several proposals, including the insurance ask. The minutes do not record a District response or commitment; the item remains under negotiation and will be revisited in May.
