That's pretty accurate. Next year the employee contribution to VRS increases, but the SB will pick up more of the ERFC (supplemental retirement) to help offset it. The state is also requiring districts to raise compensation to match the VRS contribution.
Dental is between $9 and 14 a month for an individual.
Here is a link to the dental and medical premiums.

Retiree healtcare premiums are very different.
