Three-thirty in the morning is way too early to be wide awake but… it happens. As always, I have a book within easy reach but… it doesn’t seem to be the answer. So, I puttered for a bit in the garage (say what!) loading the recycling into the car for a run to Nahcotta later. And then I thought I’d read the parts of the paper I’d glossed over last week.
Because of this, in December 2019, teachers did not need to have insurance premiums withheld from their paychecks because there was no January 2020 insurance to pay in December, since it would be paid on Feb. 5
I thought about that. Then I read the rest of the paragraph. The district will not withhold the same premiums from teachers in their March paychecks. But that agreement is in no way related to the district’s belief that it was done improperly, just that employees have a choice to keep the money in March as long as the district bears no liability if the insurance payment schedule changes again, Huntley said.
After the third or fourth read-through, I gave up. It may be early onset something-or-other but I simply cannot wrap my head around those words. I thought I wanted to keep up with my former colleagues and their concerns, but… maybe not now.
I’d like to blame the time of day. Maybe it’s not too late for a short snooze before Big Red wakes up the sun. Then perhaps I’ll try again. Perhaps.
Loved that book. Worth the read. Had the same struggle with the article. But in the end it seems OBSD is admitting error. (My conclusion anyway.)
