AWSA Update: You and Your Contract
Most likely a result of Wisconsin’s statutory administrative contract renewal timelines, December is a natural time for school and district leaders to take stock of their current employment contract and their future needs. School leaders enter the profession to make a positive impact on students, and school districts want to provide the conditions for that to occur. The contract lays out the shared goals of both the leader and the district. We hope you find the following articles, alerts, and resources helpful.

How Retiree Health Insurance Is Changing for Wisconsin Educators
For many Wisconsin educators, health insurance is the single largest uncertainty in retirement, particularly during the years between leaving employment and becoming eligible for Medicare at age 65. While earlier generations of educators often retired with employer-paid health insurance for life, rising healthcare costs, demographic changes, and federal policy shifts have steadily reshaped how retiree health benefits are provided. Today, understanding the role of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies has become an increasingly important part of retirement planning, especially for married retirees. Read more here.
