That increase would amount to $21 per month for a single subscriber, $50 per month for a single subscriber and spouse, and $100 per month for a family plan subscriber. The total annual increase in employee contributions would amount to $50,000 which Dr. Ga-ngeJ said could be covered by. the school system with funds anticipated in the October appropriation. >• >•
