[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are terrible. This is a huge change and teachers should’ve been given more of a heads up. They’ve put up with a ton in the last couple of years and morale is terrible already. APS has known since July. There’s no excuse why they weren’t told sooner. [/quote] +1 CareFirst is great, but they absolutely should have been told earlier if APS knew in July. [/quote] Exactly. The people crapping on APS educators here are ignoring obvious and crucial context, which is that Duran's administration has consistently DECREASED and reduced community involvement in decision-making (not that this needed to be a committee-situation, but it's high stakes for many people). Giving a heads up at the last possible moment that a major change is forthcoming is just another example of student-facing staff feeling shut out by leadership. I say this as someone with no love of Kaiser. [/quote] Exactly. Last year he wanted to yank health care benefits from extended day staff in the middle of the year. This year he's set up a bidding process that excludes the closed-system health care plan that more than 50% of staff used. But don't forget that Syphax got 5,000 more square feet for all of the central office staff who telework and have a bajillion paid days off now. Teachers have been crapped on at every turn. [/quote] What’s your source that the bidding process excluded Kaiser?[/quote] APS put out a bid for companies that offered both HMO and PPO. Kaiser could not bid because they do not offer ppo. It’s disingenuous for Duran to claim that Kaiser didn’t bid when they didn’t meet the criteria APs established. [/quote] Wrong. Kaiser offers PPO plans.[/quote]
