Also, a summary schedule of benefits is appended in the Negotiated Agreement as Appendix F. Note that additional terms, conditions and limitations may apply to the benefit coverage reflected in the summary schedule of benefits. The District agrees not to modify the master plan document for Teachers during the life of this Agreement except with the written consent of the CTC.
