Effective January 1, 2005, each employee who qualifies will be able to choose from the available plans offered by the Board.

The Committee is established to monitor, advise, evaluate, and make recommendations, including changes, concerning the Health Care Plan to the Board of Education.

If the estimated aggregate per employee per year cost of the medical program (determined by the independent actuary) increases by more than 5% in a single calendar year, each employee’s contribution of 10% of the medical plan and coverage elected will increase by $130 per calendar year regardless of the type of medical option or coverage elected. If the estimated aggregate per employee per calendar year cost of the medical program increases by more than 8% in a single calendar year, each employee’s contribution will increase by the amount set above for the 5% change plus an additional $65 regardless of the type of medical option or coverage elected. Teachers’ contributions shall be made on a pro-rated basis through payroll deduction, and, in accord with applicable federal laws and regulations, will be on a pre-tax basis to the extent allowed by state and federal law and regulations.
