School Beat: New Health Plan for Teachers Key element in Budget

At last weeks Monthly Evansville School Board Meeting, Mr. Michael Pierick, chair of the School Board, noted that the agreement of the Evansville Teachers to a new health provider was a key element in the upcoming budget.

The new coverage is through DEAN. Deb Olsen noted that the concerns of retired teachers had been met and this was a extensive process to make sure everyone's needs could be met.

As folks will remember, the savings had been penciled in at about $60,000. Of all the budget savings this was the one that was most substantial, since the oparational cuts that had previously been 10% were in fact restored at the June meeting. Someone might want to clarify that if this is not correct, but I believe that this is so.

Thanks were expressed for Mr. Hartje for his efforts in working with the teachers to get everyone participating in the approval process.
