When isn’t he? [/quote]

As a parent, I appreciate him. I think he says a lot of the things that staff want to say but most don't feel comfortable. He fills that role, and it's needed. Without him I probably would not even have known about this big issue and many others.

What's important to staff should be important to parents. [/quote]
[b]He speaks [/b]as a singular voice on things that all staff does not agree upon. If you dare challenge him one of his groupies will attack you. It’s really toxic IMO[/quote]

Who is the "he"?  Not everybody is watching sb mtgs, on facebook, aem, etc.  I want to steer clear of this person.

Let’s bring this discussion back to the health care issue. And APS’s handling of it. Please??[/quote]
I don’t really think it was handled poorly. They gave us notice in advance of open enrollment. What were they supposed to do?[/quote]

[b]How about not exclude KP to begin with?[/b][/quote]

[Insert Michael Scott 'Thank you!' GIF] 
If 50% of your employees are on a single provider, and that provider's been available for over 30 years, then it really behooves whoever is in charge of benefits to either A)make sure they're available next year, or B) provide advance warning as to what's going on and why. The scale of the disruption, and the likelihood that it is the result of APS screwing up their RFP or having really messed up priorities, makes it unacceptable to just wait for open enrollment to let people know.

I hope people start filing FOIAs soon. [/quote]
I haven’t seen any evidence that it was written in a way to exclude Kaiser, other than a few people stating that Kaiser doesn’t offer PPO plans (they do) [/quote]

If a significant number of your employees are currently on the Kaiser HMO plan, then writing an RFP that requires PPO plans seems pretty likely to cause some disruption, wouldn't you say? [/quote]
