Scobey K-12 staff recommend keeping insurance budget unchanged for 2026–27
Summary
District staff and employee representatives reviewed 2026–27 health plans and agreed informally to recommend keeping the board’s budgeted insurance contribution the same, with a written proposal to be forwarded to the school board; no formal vote was recorded.
Scobey K-12 Schools staff and employee representatives met to review 2026–27 health insurance options and said they would recommend keeping the district's budgeted insurance contribution unchanged for the coming year. The group cited relatively small premium differences across available plan tiers and the arrival of the state "Bridge" plan as reasons to maintain current funding while watching how the new plan performs.
"We would like to equal what we currently have," said Speaker 3, summarizing employee preference to keep coverage at the current level rather than seek more or less. Speakers described the decision as an informal consensus to present the negotiated terms to the school board for approval; the transcript records no formal motion, mover, seconder, or roll-call vote during this meeting.
Officials said the district has budgeted the same number for insurance and intends to document the agreement through negotiations and then forward the proposal to the school board. Next steps named in the meeting were preparing written terms and submitting them for the board’s consideration during the open-enrollment period.
