Board, NFT discuss self insurance

Negotiation teams from both the Board and NFT met for 3-1/2 hours this evening to discuss the Board's self insurance proposal which would maintain the teachers' prescription benefits while significantly reducing costs. Following presentations from two vendors, both sides had questions which required further research. Confident that the answers would be available next week, the Board and NFT agreed to meet again on Thursday, December 9th at 6pm.
