Public Content The School Board approved Consent Agenda item 7.7, at the June 9, 2014 meeting, an agreement between the Board and SS Solutions, LLC, for contracted services of Okaloosa County School District retirees that are pre-approved and recommended by the Superintendent. At that same meeting, the School Board requested the Superintendent to bring back a recommendation to ensure consistency and equity related to contract cost. The Superintendent's recommendation to ensure contract pricing consistency is to pay the beginning step of the position classification most closely identifying the duties and responsibilities of the contractor supplied by the vendor plus an amount equivalent to the District's cost of single health insurance coverage for the basic insurance plan and the associated vendor fee. This recommendation will result in contract cost efficiencies and pricing consistency for services of experienced contractors. This agreement only pertains to non-collective bargaining services. .
