[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]
Is there a reason APS couldn't have said in the spring that Kaiser didn't put in a bid so they will not be an option in 2024?  They may not have known who they'd use yet, but they'd have known that Kaiser wasn't in the running.[/quote]

Yes, there were not allowed to disclose that per VA law.[/quote]

This.

I can understand APS teachers being bummed.  But the continuing complaining and anger toward APS when you have been given facts about how this works and why this happened is messed up.  If Duran tells you all Kaiser didn't bid, that completely invalidates the procurement process.  Other vendors would then have information that would affect their bids.  APS CAN'T TELL YOU!  Think through what it means to be part of public service and civics class and competitive bidding and why this all works the way it works.  I get it you don't like the outcome.  But this is necessary.

[b]Some teachers naivite about how anything in the real world works is actually shocking to me.  Total lack of common sense.  It's embarrassing for you and your profession.[/b]

As a teacher in FCPS, I agree with you.  The angst and complaining we have had in FCPS in changing from BCBS to Cigna this yearhas been ridiculous.  All of my providers have been in Cigna and I have had no issues.  We have great insurance and it is relatively inexpensive compared to the corporate world.[/quote]
