Rights Waived by the Association: Except as provided for in the “Fiscal Conditions Benefit Reopener” paragraph of this section and Article III, Section 9 (“Reopener”) of the Agreement, the Association shall waive its right to negotiate health and dental plan design provisions until January 1, 2022. The District may, therefore, under the terms of this Agreement, set or negotiate the benefit premiums for current employees and adopt, at its sole discretion, a distinct rate schedule and benefits for qualifying retirees. The Association shall not unreasonably withhold consent to reopen the Agreement for the purposes of incorporating the benefits structure changes in the event that the District chooses a new carrier.
