[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should look into prorating the health insurance costs of part time employees. Currently, as long as an employees works 50%, they receive full healthcare benefits. It would seem that an easy way to cut money is for the county to only pay the percentage that the employee is working.[/quote]
And say goodbye to paras, bus drivers, lunch and recess workers, and a host of others.[/quote]

many of the support staff workers are only working for the benefits for their families.[/quote]

+100 I am a para and more than one of my colleagues work specifically because of the benefits. MCPS switched to Cigna last year to cut costs, which was very unpopular with teachers and support staff. Dr. McKnight needs to be held accountable for this and other mistakes that have happened on her watch.

Last year when Evan Glass and Natali Fani Gonzalez on the county council wanted explanation for items in the MCPS budget the BOE put out a statement accusing them of only doing so because the superintendent and BOE are all female. I believe there was also a second statement saying Dr. McKnight was being criticized because of her race. The MCPS budget is huge and the county council SHOULD pick it apart and ask questions.

Wait so McKnight is responsible when cost exceed premiums for years, but also responsible for changing to another health insurance company to reduce cost because staff didn’t want the change?  So I guess staff would just be fine with MCPS passing on any increases to them in their premiums?[/quote]
