United Concordia News
United Concordia is no longer being granted the contract for dental coverage for our Uniformed Military Service Families. Instead, as of 1 May 2012 the coverage will go to Metlife. I've included a website with all the pertinent information. You can also go and find out which dentists have picked up as a Metlife PPO (Preferred Provider Organization). There are some dentists who are not going to change over and pick up the dental plan due to the insurance PPO dictating as to what they will charge.
Therefore, the Carthage Central School District Board of Education
passed a resolution on February 27 that the instructional calendar will
be modified so that students and instructional staff will not be in
attendance on the following dates:
March 23, 2012
March 30, 2012
April 9, 2012
May 7, 2012
May 24, 2012
However, if additional days must be used for emergency closings, the
first day will be taken on March 23, then March 30, April 9, May 7, and
May 24. In the event of long term emergency closings, the Board of
Education reserves which makeup days will be used from any scheduled
recess periods and/or holidays, consistent with any language that may
exist in district labor agreements.
