Discussion

Linda Gifford, Harvest Gifford's grandmother, addressed the board about her concern with the school's student insurance. Harvest was hurt while playing a school sport and needs physical therapy a few times a week for the next 6 months, however, the school's insurance only covers 5 physical therapy visits. Ms. Gifford is having to pay the rest of the co-pays herself and she says they will total around $2,000. She suggests that we look into increasing our school insurance coverage.
