Comments:
Question: can a case study be done utilizing the school's situation over the next year?

Next steps to include a county-wide with a broader base of shared information

More information to be worth a five

Very informative

Great lunch

Had hoped for more direction to help in the direct future

Needed what to do in the next 3-5 months

Yes, we need to solve the greater problem

Very exciting inspiring possibilities

It will be more useful if the process continues

Interesting but I still feel powerless

This was good in terms of dialogue, but I need more specific info on options due to our negotiations timelines

My job is teaching in a classroom. I negotiate on extra time - It is unrealistic to think many of us will have time talk to HN or Kaiser, be an actuary, do research, etc.

What I need is someone to do the research and come back to us with next steps.

Setting aside to have experts do research seems very reasonable to me.

Surprisingly helpful and informative

Thank you

Computer spreadsheet was extremely interesting new information

Loved Tom's piece

Did not need to have materials read to us

Excellent identification of problems. Questionable next steps as there is so much work to do on this issue as well as work to do in our respective districts. Ellen Shaffer was excellent a 5. Will follow up with information on www.healthcareoptions.ca.gov. I truly believe that we need a person of Ellen's or Tom's ability to consult with the group that will continue to work on these issues.

Very useful

Overall 5, practical ideas 3 - Beneficial in the aggregate, not really helpful for the individual unit, except what Tom said
