7.B.4. Access to enroll in group dental plan will have set up delays:
Teachers/employees are not able to enroll in dental insurance plan until there is a dental plan/provider approved by the School District. The business office has narrowed the search for appropriate dental plans down to two providers that appear to be the best fit for our school district contingent upon if we get enough enrollees. One provider needs to selected and approved. I recommend using the same committee that reviewed the group health insurance bids earlier this year to prepare a recommendation to the School Board. Once the group dental plan provider is selected, then enrollment may begin. Please be aware when school/employers offer access to a dental plan for the first time, there may be a waiting period which means activation may be as late as October; however, hopefully sooner. |

Jody Randall, Head Cook/Food Service Director, and Kevin Ricke participated an informational Zoom meeting June 3, 2021 regarding this opportunity. This needs to be a volunteer-driven program. Secured storage for additional food may be a challenge for our Badger school site depending on how large the quantities of bulk items get delivered at a time; otherwise, with a consistent team of volunteers it appears worthy to explore. Minimum commitment would be once a month during the school year if our application and partnership is mutually agreed upon.
