The Valley Stream Teachers’ Association Welfare Fund was established as a result of negotiations between the Valley Stream Teachers’ Association and the four Valley Stream Boards of Education for the purpose of providing dental insurance, vision and an option for Excess Major Medical. (EMM)

The Welfare Fund consists of five trustees who are VSTA members recommended by the President and approved by the VSTA Executive Board. The Board oversees the operation of the Fund, retains the services of a Director and CPA, as well as obtains opinions as necessary.

Further, the Fund contracts for the services of a professional benefits specialist at JJ Stanis for plan administration.
