Board approves health insurance options after split 4–2 vote
Summary
The board approved recommended health insurance options for employees on a 4–2 vote; TiShaunda McPherson and Cynthia Peranich voted against the administrative recommendation after discussion of cost increases.
The Westchester SD 92-5 Board of Education approved administrative recommendations for employee health insurance options by a 4–2 vote at the April 16 meeting. Mr. Gress presented information to the board showing increases in insurance costs and summarized the District Health Insurance Committee’s recommendations.
During the vote TiShaunda McPherson and Cynthia Peranich recorded Nay votes; the remaining four members voted Yea. The motion passed, and the administrative recommendation will be implemented for the upcoming plan year.
Why it matters: Health insurance plan choices affect employee benefits and district expenditures; a split vote indicates some board concern about cost or plan design.
