Tonight on The Board Report, we take a hard look at a proposed school district health insurance rate increase that could have cost teachers and district staff hundreds of dollars more out of pocket — and the fallout that followed when the public got involved.Joining us is Jackie Rosario, elected school board member and candidate for re-election, who took the issue directly to teachers, staff, and the community by asking for public input online — a move that helped stall the proposal and exposed deep divisions inside the board.We’ll break down:What the proposed health insurance increase would have meant for teachers and district employeesWhy public engagement suddenly became controversialWho tried to rein in online communication — and whyHow transparency, accountability, and political pressure collided behind the scenesWhat this issue means moving forward for educators, families, and votersWhen the cost of healthcare rises, silence isn’t an option — and neither is closed-door decision-making.No spin. No talking points. Just real discussion about real consequences for the people who keep our schools running.🕖 Live tonight at 7PM🌐 IRC Media: https://ircmedia.net📺 Watch & follow: https://bit.ly/IRCMEDIA
