Board approves Baldwin Group contract to study district health benefits and run RFP

The El Segundo Unified School District board voted unanimously to approve an agreement with the Baldwin Group to perform a health benefits study and to facilitate a request-for-proposals process for the district’s health and dental plans.

District staff said the item was recommended by the district’s health benefits committee as part of an effort "to evaluate the district's current offerings and ensure employees have access to quality benefits at competitive rates." A board member moved the item and it passed by voice vote 5–0.

The contract will allow the district to review plan structures and solicit competitive proposals; the transcript does not include contract value or timeline details. The board directed staff to proceed with the study and RFP facilitation as recommended.
