Everything you need to learn about your options and build a benefits package that fits your budget and your life is presented here on this site. District benefits are on a calendar year basis, running from January 1st to December 31st.
First, check the eligibility requirements to make sure you’re eligible. This page also explains how to verify dependents and how our plan meets the guidelines of the Affordable Care Act.

Note: Your benefits are effective the first of the month after a 30-day waiting period. For example, if you were hired on 01/15/2023, your benefits would be effective 03/01/2023.
