BoardMartin County School Board Workshop
The workshop focused on several key medical insurance considerations for future planning. Discussions included the potential for the school board to join a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and the associated challenges with FRS status. The board reviewed proposals for a tobacco and nicotine surcharge program, weighing the use of affidavits versus actual testing (e.g., cotinine tests) and explored the implementation of cessation programs. Additionally, the board discussed spousal surcharge options or carve-outs for spouses who have access to other medical insurance coverage, and touched upon the current wellness program allocations.
