ATTENTION!! Educator Healthcare costs are
being proposed to rise up to 500%! We must join together to fight proposed changes
that will significantly affect the quality of education for Alabama children
as well as the future of the educational profession. Education healthcare and
retirement are the focus of drastic changes that will be detrimental to the
employees, in turn resulting in losing quality teachers. For these reasons,
we call on you to prevent the PEEHIP and TSA Boards from making these
proposed changes without consulting those whom it affects. Summary of Proposed Changes Information Please
Sign Our Petition to Help Protect Educators Benefits! Join the 710 Members who have signed the petition this week! More
