SASD School Board Meeting 11/2/26

The Stoughton Area School District Board of Education meeting on November 2, 2026, included planning for a competitive review of employee health benefits. The district and its consultant will seek multi-year cost projections and assess provider access and disruption across fully insured and self-funded options, including plans associated with Dean, Medica, Quartz, GHC, Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. The insurance committee is expected to meet about monthly from November through March, with a goal of bringing a recommendation to the board for a decision in April ahead of May open enrollment. No provider selection, contract award, or related spending vote occurred; the board discussed committee representation, communications, and how to present options and trade-offs.

The board also heard reports on school improvement and student benchmark results, including concerns about outcomes for students with disabilities, and received a legislative and election update. It approved a motion on policy updates, including changes to align policies with federal Title IX developments and Wisconsin definitions; one policy was tabled for clarification. No other procurement activity was identified.
