\nUpdate: Collective Bargaining<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Soldotna, January 16, 2016\u2014On Wednesday evening, during collective bargaining, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District (KPBSD) negotiating team responded to a high deductible health care offer<\/a> presented by the Kenai Peninsula Education Association (KPEA), and the Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association (KPESA). After thorough analysis<\/a>, the District provided an 11 page response<\/a>* outlining costs and reasoning, with the conclusion it could not accept the proposal because the district\u2019s health care costs would increase by $1.1 million, among other reasons.*<\/strong>
\nIn response to the KPEA and KPESA offer, on January 13, 2016, KPBSD presented the two Associations with a health care proposal<\/a>** that also included a high deductible health care plan, but with a monthly cap on the employer contribution. The offer also included opt-out provisions for employees with alternate health care coverage. The District\u2019s proposal was rejected by the KPEA and KPESA on January 13, 2016, and the two Associations did not present a formal counter proposal to KPBSD.<\/strong>
