The Board of Education shall obtain health insurance for all full-time staff members in accordance with the plan described in the District's Health Insurance Plan known as Anthem.

Those employees who have coverage through the employer of a working spouse may waive the District's health insurance coverage. Those staff members who waive the insurance will be paid an annual fee per negotiated agreement, with the understanding that this additional compensation is subject to FICA and Federal, State, and local income tax. The waiver must be in writing.

Staff members may either waive insurance coverage or revoke a previous waiver and thereby seek reinstatement on an annual basis in accordance with the procedure described in the plan.
