The move comes as educators and unions push for improved coverage amid rising healthcare costs and concerns over affordability. With negotiations stalled, the dispute highlights broader tensions over compensation and working conditions for school staff. Details on the proposed terms and the board’s next steps remain unclear ahead of the meeting.
