ACADEMY/TOWN STAFF REPORT RECOMMENDATION
title
Discuss, consider and act to approve WA Resolution 25-06 approving the Interlocal Agreement with Educational Services Center Region 11 for the Employee Benefits Cooperative Program for Academic Staff and authorizing the Superintendent to Execute the Interlocal Agreement (Sandy Garza, Director of Human Resources)
body
STAFF: Sandy Garza, Director of Human Resources
BACKGROUND:
Westlake expanded and enhanced its academic employee benefit package by joining the ESC Region 11 Benefits Cooperative in August 2008. The Cooperative, currently serving 53 school districts and charter schools consisting of thousands of members, offers Westlake a more comprehensive and competitive academic benefits package at a lower cost. By leveraging the numbers of its members, this program is capable of leveraging products and services in a more cost-efficient manner than the Academy can obtain on its own. It is necessary to renew the Interlocal Agreement on an annual basis. This renewal is for the 2025-2026 school year.
DISCUSSION:
Council/Board of Trustees may move to approve or reject the proposed ILA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
