TCSIG Decision on Transgender Health Services
Earlier this year, a Yuba Community College District (YCCD) representative on the Tri-Counties School Insurance Group Board (TCISG) requested the removal of a transgender health services exclusion from the self-insured plans and requested amendments to the plans to include gender transition services consistent with California Law and common standards of care. TCSIG staff conducted an analysis of the costs associated with plan modifications in order to provide a recommendation to the TCSIG Board.
The October 25, 2019 TCSIG Board meeting agenda included an action item titled “Consideration and possible approval of Plan Amendments to allow for Transgender benefits and related incentives.” In a vote during the meeting, the TCSIG Board voted to being covering services related to gender identity and expression, effective November 1, 2019.
YCCD Successful in Measure Q Bond Sale
The Yuba Community College District conducted a Measure Q Bonds sale in October. This was a competitive sale with seven bidders. The bonds were sold at a lower interest rate than forecasted at the time of the meeting where the YCCD Governing Board approved the sale. As a result, the bond sales team was able to reconstruct the issuance to pay off the bonds a little quicker than forecasted, resulting in a lower overall interest.
Governor Newsom Issues Proclamation Declaring California Resilience Day
Governor Newsom, on the one-year anniversary of the Camp Fire, issued a proclamation declaring November 8, 2019, as “California Resilience Day.” November 8, 2019 marked the one-year anniversary of the Camp Fire that razed the town of Paradise, taking 85 lives, destroying 14,0000 homes, and displacing tens of thousands of residents.
Governor Newsom stated in the proclamation that “The Camp Fire response and recovery also serve as a reminder to our common humanity, which is on display every day in Paradise.”
Chancellor Houston stated in a district-wide e-mail regarding the one-year anniversary of the Camp Fire that “recovery is progressing as best as can be expected. As of today (November 7th), roughly 3,000 residents have repopulated, all in homes that were not destroyed. Tens of thousands more have simply relocated elsewhere, either temporarily or permanently.” The Yuba Community College District holds all that were affected and continue to be affected by The Camp Fire in our thoughts and prayers.
