The North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation hopes to save its employees some money on health insurance premiums.
The school board last week ratified the corporation’s decision to switch to United Healthcare, at the recommendation of Superintendent Annette Zupin. “We have been shopping for better rates,” she explained. “If we stayed with our current plan, our employees would experience a 24-percent increase in their premiums, on top of the 15-percent increase from last year, and we knew we could not do this. So we have been working with a broker, and our broker worked very hard and found us other options.”
Zupin thanked teachers and staff members for filling out their paperwork quickly, allowing the corporation to meet the June 1 enrollment deadline.
