BPS district leaders considering stopping plastic surgery coverage for teachers

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – Should the Buffalo Public School district, and by extension, taxpayers, continue to pick up the full tab for teachers to have cosmetic surgery? That’s the question the school board is set to take up at its meeting Wednesday evening.
Right now, coverage for plastic surgery is included as part of a self-insured rider in the contract with the teachers union. With one insurance option, teachers pay no co-pay for everything from Botox injections to breast implants.
