Voice Editor With the new school year set to open Monday, it’s a new school year, and a new organizational plan.

A state arbitration panel last week upheld the original police arbitration award that was issued by the state Board of Mediation and Arbitration in March. At the center of the debate over the arbitration award was an actuarial study estimating the difference in cost between the police pension plan and the proposed 401(k) retirement savings plan. According to the study, the city would save $10 million in the long run by switching new hires to a 401(k) plan.
