Description:
This has been a high-impact year for the district’s insurance, with increased costs influencing our renewal process. We worked closely with NIS to review options and identify the most cost-effective and sustainable path forward. Based on that analysis, we recommend approval of the proposed insurance bids, including medical coverage through BCBS and dental coverage through Delta Dental, as presented by NIS. These recommendations balance fiscal responsibility with maintaining strong benefits for our staff. |
