Overview
- Directors voted 6–1 to continue contracts with Kaiser Permanente, UnitedHealthcare and MotivHealth through the 2026–27 school year.
- The board ordered the district to reopen the health insurance bidding process next fall, allowing new proposals.
- Board president Xóchitl Gaytán cast the lone no vote, warning the shift could weaken bargaining power and increase legal risk.
- Roughly 5,800 employees and family members covered by Kaiser will keep their doctors for at least one more year.
- Superintendent Alex Marrero declined to give a single recommendation after earlier backing a Kaiser exit, as a prior investigation found no wrongdoing and the teachers union pushed for an extension while criticizing cost projections and communication.
