SUSAN P. READ, J:

On June 12, 2003, the Chenango Forks Central School District (the School District or the District) circulated a memorandum to its faculty and staff, represented by the Chenango Forks Teachers Association, NYSUT, AFT, AFL-CIO, Local 2651 (the Union), announcing termination, due to costs, of the District’s practice of reimbursing Medicare Part B premiums of retirees 65 years of age or older. The School District was at one time required by its healthcare insurance plan to reimburse these premiums. But in 1988, the parties negotiated a switch to a new plan, which was reflected in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) they entered into in 1990. Although the new plan did not require provision of this benefit, the District nonetheless continued it.1 The 2002-2004 CBA, in place in June 2003, said nothing about Medicare Part B premium reimbursement. Similarly, the 2004-2007 CBA, entered into in January 2005, was silent on this issue, and the parties agree that the topic was not raised during contract negotiations.
