Team Fort Osage met for the first time this year on August 22nd. There was discussion about health insurance, Career Ladder, salary and benefits summary document, and superintendent advisory committees (information provided below on each). Health Insurance The annual health insurance renewal is coming up January 1st, 2024. Pending board approval at the September meeting, Fort Osage will continue to be a part of the consortium and offer four Cigna health plans to eligible employees. My recommendation will include continuing the District’s contribution of $781.00 per employee per month making the yearly contribution per eligible employee $9,372. A few minor changes include an increase to the $3,000 deductible plan to $3,200, due to federal guidelines. Second, the $3,200 deductible plan will cost employees $25.00 per month, and, third, the PPO buy-up option will increase for employees an additional $25.00 per month. There will be two plans completely covered by the District, while both plans will also provide significant HSA contributions. Open enrollment will take place October 16th-27th. More information will be provided in the coming weeks. Career Ladder Career Ladder is an exceptional way to provide support and programming for students while providing additional opportunities for certificated staff to earn supplementary compensation. The deadline to enroll for Career Ladder is September 15th. The link can be found here. For those who enroll, Career Ladder plans are due October 1st. Please see information from the human resources department regarding this process. Salary and Benefits Summary Later this fall, we will be sending each employee a document which will show a breakdown of their total financial compensation from the District. The document will come by mail and will include total compensation including salary, benefits, retirement contributions, Medicare tax, social security tax (if applicable), and other district-paid benefits. An email will be sent to All Staff when the documents are mailed out. Superintendent Advisory Committees I look forward to continuing to meet with each building’s Superintendent Advisory Committee this year. Three meetings have been scheduled throughout the year in order to have dialog with certificated and classified staff regarding various topics relevant to the district. Comments are closed.
