PETER RONZA: People are sometimes shocked at what goes into running this. The school district currently deploys around 6,300 benefits eligible employees. Roughly 50 percent are what we would call front serving. They're in the schools, they're providing the education. And roughly 50 percent are providing those support functions.

Our demographics are expansive. So we want to make sure that our program is second to none so that when those employees need their health care, they have it.

I am proud to say that we were able to switch to UnitedHealthcare because we can provide what we want to provide to our staff, our community, and attract great candidates for the vacancies that we have.
PETER RONZA VOICEOVER: What has been incredibly impressive is the dedicated staff that has been given to us.

JAMES BENNETT: My role is to work through issues with the employees, answering questions, assisting employees with anything from claims, to eligibility, to coverage. You really have to really like what you're doing and you have to really care about the individuals that you are providing services for.

We recently just had our first child, and I was very grateful to have access to our UnitedHealthcare benefits. It was so helpful to be able to have a large network, being able to just use their apps, having access to our on-site account manager, to have that relationship.

When you have access to quality healthcare, that makes you feel like your employer cares about you. You're not just an employee. You are a mom, you have a family. It’s just awesome.

TEACHER SPEAKING TO HER STUDENTS: The trick I use is you put your finger on the angle, don't touch a side, wherever your finger ends up, that's your opposite side.

PETER RONZA: Since bringing on UnitedHealthcare, it has enabled our employees to make important healthcare decisions, without complexity, and they can concentrate on then doing their job of providing an education to our students.
TEACHER SPEAKING TO A STUDENT: Oh, Jaleya, way too kind.
