Superintendent: district pursuing competitive bids after 22% BCBS increase, plans elementary special-ed classroom
Summary
Superintendent Jenny Keffer told the board the district is re-bidding health insurance after an initial BCBS renewal showed a 22% increase and is planning a self-contained elementary special education classroom while HR works on staffing and salary offers.
Superintendent Jenny Keffer reported to the board that district human-resources work has been prioritized in the HR director's absence and that she has collaborated with staff and the union president on salary offers to ensure competitiveness and equity.
Keffer said the district's initial renewal proposal from Blue Cross Blue Shield reflected a 22% increase, prompting the district to partner with insurance broker Gallagher to seek more cost-effective options. She also announced planning is underway to open a self-contained special education classroom at the elementary level, with hiring and curriculum development in progress to support the program's launch.
