Personal Days
Early Retirement Incentive
The EPEA contract has an early retirement incentive in this year of the contract only in the amount of $15,000. If that is your intent you should communicate that in writing by Feb. 1. Teachers are also invited to meet with Tom May confidentially if they have any questions or to look at options.
Plan B teachers may stay on the district’s health plan (at their own expense) until you reach the age of Medicare as long as they are drawing their TRA pension per state law. At current insurance rates the above early incentive would cover approximately 21 months.
Ask to meet with Tom May or call me if you have questions about the contract.
Insurance Review Offer
Now is the time of year households look for ways to save in the upcoming New Year. If you are looking for some relief in your monthly bills and have not taken advantage of the ESI Home and Auto insurance benefit, now is a great time.
As Educators are taking time off for winter break we would like to extend an invitation to all of you that would like an insurance review before the New Year. Liberty Mutual will have normal business hours Tuesday December 26th, 2017 through Friday December 29th, 2017 and we are dedicating this week to our Education Partners. We offer flexible hours and are willing to accommodate your schedules.
There is also some winter break fun included! If you contact Liberty Mutual for a proposal Tuesday December 26th, 2017 through Friday December 29th, 2017 and mention this email we will put your name into a drawing for $50.00 gift card.
Give us a call! We look forward to hearing from you soon!
