On 6/22/17, the PSE group voted on the 2017-2018 Medical Benefits.  Here is the final decision (from the PSE President, Jennifer White):

Good morning!

Thank you to all who turned out for our meeting and insurance vote.  There were several great questions and I'm happy we were able to extend as much time as was needed at the meeting for everyone to make the vote that was right for them.

We had 55 members sign in and vote.  The voting results were 34 to 21 in favor of moving to the WEASelect Plans through Aetna & UnitedHealthcare.

An HMO plan will still be offered through Kaiser Permanente with the only change being an increase in premiums of 15.3%.

Please visit the district website for complete plan information: Arlington School District - Administration - Human Resources - Employee Benefits - PSE Renewal 2017/2018

​This change will take place November 1, 2017 so you have the entire summer to look at the plans to find the best fit for you.  If you haven't already, I highly encourage you to take a look at the information on the district website, especially the Aon Hewitt Presentation so you can see all of the great opportunities available at no additional cost.

Information will also be available at the benefits fair on August 29th at the High School.

​Have a great summer and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.​
