I am a licensed teacher in WI in Physical and Health
Education. My wife teaches math. Last summer I recieved a
job offer at a small school 45 minuts south of Rochester.
Anyway it was my dream job. PE/Health/Activities Director
and a head coaching job. Anyway when they explained the
benefits were explained to me I got this:
$3850 deductible per person - We are pregnant and we were
told after 6 weeks the baby would start to accumulate a
deductible as well!
$500/month towards the premium
$15/25/35 copay for meds and office visits
At the district where my wife teaches, we have no premium
to pay, a $200 deductible, and a $5 copay on meds.
Needless to say we turned down the position, as we were't
prepared to write out a $3850 check to the hospital for her
pregnancy Dr. appointments.
I have 2 questions:
1. Are all school MN district offering these same benefits?

guaranteed jobs here, with a pay scale of 40k-85k and V...See More
