Board adopts paid family and medical leave plan through Madison National
Summary
Kenyon-Wanamingo trustees approved a paid family and medical leave plan administered through Madison National Life Insurance Company, effective Jan. 1; the superintendent noted employees will bear roughly half the premium and replacement benefits will vary by income.
The Kenyon-Wanamingo School Board approved adoption of a paid family and medical leave plan that will be administered through Madison National Life Insurance Company and take effect Jan. 1.
Superintendent described the state law framework and the district's options, noting private plan quotes were lower than the state's option and that the district's existing relationship with National Insurance Services (the agent) influenced selection. "It can range from about about 60% to about 95%," the superintendent said when describing benefit replacement rates by earnings level. He also said roughly half of the premium will be borne by employees as required by law, and the district will follow the required communication and posting timeline.
Board moved and seconded adoption and the motion passed 6–0. The superintendent flagged operational concerns such as substitute shortages and the need to manage expectations about leave usage.
