It is the Board of Education's policy to provide a competitive and comprehensive package of employee benefits to its employees to effectively attract and retain high quality employees.

The specific design and development of employee benefit plans, including health insurance, dental and vision insurance, short term and long term disability insurance, and life insurance benefits shall be recommended by the District Administrator with approval by the Board. These programs shall be reviewed no less than annually and where necessary or appropriate, the District Administrator shall solicit bids from potential vendors to provide employee benefits, or analyze alternative options, such as self-funding insurance plans. The District Administrator shall present to the Board for its approval any proposed changes or contract extensions for such benefits.

A schedule of current benefits shall be available in the District office and in the main offices of each school building.

The Board retains finally authority to establish, modify, rescind, add, or in any way affect employee benefits.

The Board shall determine annually, in conjunction with the budget process, the anticipated shared cost of all employee benefits, specifying both employee and employer share of applicable premiums through Board action.
