After 10 years of research, MSSA, working with MUST, assisted in designing affordable health insurance for our smallest schools. Check out this program at the MUST website. www.mustbenefits.org

New this year, for small schools is the Guidance and Library Alternative Standards Program. This helps our smallest schools meet state standards in these two important areas.
