Survey

 

Who Has Responded

 
 

This school year the District will be requesting proposals from Health Insurance Providers to determine the types of services and costs available to the District for the next plan year.  During this process the District can ask for proposals showing plan options exactly like the ones offered today and can also request some changes to the plan.  Our desire is to hear from our employees concerning which features of the Health plan are most important to them.  Please complete this brief survey to give us a better idea of what areas to focus on during the process.  (October 23 deadline.)

 

 This survey is now closed. Thanks for your participation.
