and Long Term Disability (LTD) Renewal
ATTACHMENTS: FY 2015-2016 Voluntary LTD Renewal Rates TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM:
X CONSENT INFORMATION ONLY – NO DISCUSSION REGULAR INFORMATION ONLY – DISCUSSION DEPARTMENTAL REPORT/PRESENTATION X ACTION
BACKGROUND / SUMMARY: Dearborn National was awarded STD and LTD coverage under RFP 11-018 with rates guaranteed from October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2013. The RFP allowed for a one-year award and four successive one-year renewals. A one-year renewal option remains at this time. The STD coverage is on an Administrative Services Only (ASO) arrangement at a rate of $1.43 per person per month. This rate has remained unchanged since inception in 2005. Since January 1, 2014, all new hires with no prior non-refunded VRS service are covered under the VRS Hybrid Retirement Plan. This plan does not provide for disability retirement and Hybrid employees are covered under the Standard for both LTD and STD. Hybrid employees are covered for work related disability in the first year of employment and not covered for non-work related disability until after the first year of VRS membership. On April 15, 2014, the School Board approved a recommendation to include Hybrid employees under the Dearborn STD plan during the first year of employment. Plan 1 and Plan 2 employees are covered under the Dearborn National STD and eligible to participate in the voluntary LTD coverage. KSPH, our insurance consultants, has secured a one-year renewal with no change in rates. REQUESTED ACTION: That the School Board award the STD and LTD coverage to Dearborn National, effective October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016 for Plan 1 and Plan 2 VRS covered employees and hybrid employees during the first year of employment for non-work related disability.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:
On May 12, 2015 the School Board approved the award of the health insurance coverage to Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield with the option to renew for one additional one-year term, commitment in advance for Anthem’s reinsurance on run out claims and level premiums. Coverage is effective October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016. The plan comparison provided by the consultant required two corrections:

• Congratulations to Ms. Jennifer McSweeney. She will be leaving Achilles to take on the new role of Literacy Coach for GCPS. We all wish her well in her new endeavor and look forward to working with her in this new capacity.
• Three new teachers will be joining the Achilles staff, along with two support staff transfers. Excited to say that Achilles is fully staffed for the 2015-2016 school year.
Curr

ning
s
Forty-three students in rising grades 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 attended Achilles summer school. Attendance was consistent and very few absences were recorded. Our program theme was “survival” in grades 4 and 5, and included summer topics in the lower grades. Each class focused on the academic concepts of the following:
• Math- number sense, computation and facts, word problems and problem solving • Writing- sentence structure, paragraph writing, grammar skills • Reading- fluency and comprehension strategies
Each teacher used pretests and posttests to measure student progress and achievement during the summer school program. Assessment measures included:
• Math- teacher-made computation and word problem assessments and progress on math online programs, such as Xtramath.org
• Writing- writing prompts using GCPS grade level rubrics • Reading- Grades 1, 2, and 3- DRA, Grades 4 and 5- STAR
Our program was enhanced through the use of the Gloucester County Bookmobile and several guest speakers. Each class visited the library Bookmobile once a week. Students and teachers were allowed to check out books, encouraging student choice and independent reading. Guest speakers include Deputy Saulman, the Humane Society, the Fire Department, and VIMS. Students learned about safety and survival skills, and how animals survive in their habitats. Our students enjoyed these visits and had the opportunity to write about their experiences. All students were enthusiastic about attending school each day, experienced growth or practice of academic skills, and benefitted from the small group attention and focused intervention that they received while at Achilles!
