Board told health-insurance survey results due; discussion begins on possible state plan engagement for 2028

Director Mayfield told trustees he had distributed an anonymous health-insurance survey to all employees and asked for results to be returned by the following Friday so staff could compile findings. "The survey's anonymous, correct?" asked a trustee; Mayfield confirmed, "100% anonymous. It's not collecting email addresses. I'm the only one that owns it."

Board members said a dedicated work session would be useful to review the survey outputs and to model tiered-plan costs; one trustee outlined a state-provided timeline (shared later as a PDF) that would include district readiness work through winter and an employee vote in March–April if the board chooses to engage with the state and pursue the state plan for potential January 2028 implementation.
