Long discussion on employee health care benefits—the board has directed that health expenses for employees will go up. An attached page in the agenda shows that the district medical and dental plan contribution is fixed for 2010-2011 at $369 per employee per month.
We (AFT) will attend a District Ins. Meeting on August 3, 2010 to see the bids for medical and dental. Mr. Moore led the charge to put everything on the table regarding expenses including having one (1) hospital.
A presentation was given by ERO regarding performance contracts—a method to do renovations paid for by energy savings. A previous presentation had been given—nothing new. There is great possibility in this process.
A short presentation was given on Instructional Services update—nothing new. Associate Superintendents other than Esther Tijerina are John Martinez, and Melba Fuentes. Two more associate superintendents will be named soon.
