The DCSMEC Solstice Dental and Vision Members Only Plan has more savings and benefits overall compared to the UHC and Delta Plans offered through the District. The DCSMEC Solstice Dental and Vision plans have provided coverage for union members for the past 12 years.
Solstice is introducing a NEW PPO High Option Plan I in 2015 for DCSMEC union members with an increased plan maximum of $2,000. Compared to the high option UHC and Delta Dental Plans offered by the District, DCSMEC members who insure their family with the Solstice new PPO High Option Plan 1 can save as much as $318 per year, members with one dependent insured can save as much as $767 per year, and members who have single coverage can save up to $100 per year.

The DCSMEC Family Life’s new GAP Members Only Plan, effective January 1, 2015 will cover “both in and out patient “surgeries and continue to offer members an excellent benefit for hospital confinement. Family Life has provided plans to our membership for the past 10 years.

TENTATIVE AGREEMENT REACHED

by Rolando Sardiñas on November 24, 2014

AGREEMENT REACHED
Tonight after many lengthy bargaining sessions, we reached an agreement for the 2014-2015 contract re-openers. We started these negotiations with the school board offering $0 for employee salary increases. After many long hours of hard work we have reached a tentative agreement.

The bargaining team worked tirelessly to find every dollar available. Taking the current political and budget climate in mind, we think that the resolution is fair and helps move us forward for the year.

2. Tuition Reimbursement – Maximum reimbursement increased from $70 to $100 per credit hour.
3. Personal Property Loss Fund – expanded to cover lost or damaged tools. Maximum reimbursement increased from $300 to $400 per claim.
