An employee will pay $74.47 per month out of pocket instead of $121.47 without
the agreement.
An employee +1 will pay $148.94 per month instead of $296.94 without the
agreement.
Families will pay $193.82 out of pocket instead of $344.82 without the agreement.
The district will now be paying 90% of benefits with the employee paying 10% at
all levels.

We could not have gotten this agreement without the support of our members!
Thanks to all who came to the board meeting before Thanksgiving and the
encouraging words everyone sent to the team! Please look for dates to vote to
ratify.

In Solidarity,
Your PEA Bargaining Team
