Health Insurance Resolved
Dade school employees spared higher insurance bills
In surprise fashion, the Miami-Dade School Board announced late Wednesday that it would cover all increases to the cost of employee health insurance through December 2008.''The School Board listened to us,'' United Teachers of Dade President Karen Aronowitz said. ``They understood the pressure that everyone is facing. They knew that our teachers had to be the priority.''
The announcement put an end to a bitter fight that has raged since November.
