District proposes 10% increase in 2027 medical-plan funding

What happened

The district is recommending a 10.04% increase in total 2027 medical-plan funding, about $3.124 million, while keeping existing plan designs. The district would cover 75% of the increase, and employees and retirees would cover the remaining $780,950; the district’s monthly employee premium contribution would rise from $965 to $1,044.

Why it matters to families

The proposed renewal has a material cost for the district and its employees and retirees, even though the stated plan designs would not change. The board agenda presents it for decision, so the renewal is not yet confirmed.

The evidence

Regular Board Meeting agenda, item 8.03: recommends a 10.04% or approximately $3.124 million increase in total plan funding; district share $2,342,850, employee/retiree share $780,950, and monthly district employee premium contribution rising from $965 to $1,044. It recommends no medical-plan design changes.
