A health care flexible spending account helps you save money for medical, dental, and vision expenses for you and your family. You can set aside up to $2,850 each year for healthcare and up to $5,000 for childcare expenses, and it won't be taxed. The district takes the money out of your paycheck if you choose to join.

It's free to be part of the Medical Reimbursement or Dependent Care Plans, but you need to have district insurance. The plan lasts for a whole year, usually starting on the first day of a month, and it helps you manage your medical costs.

We understand life can bring unexpected challenges and events, and it's okay to ask for support. Our employee assistance program offers a confidential resource for employees to consult regarding a variety of topics, such as family and personal relationships, emotional or mental health, work and life balance, and financial or legal concerns.

Employee and Family Resources' (EFR) counseling professionals will work with employees to understand their concerns and connect them with appropriate resources. The first three sessions are free and services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
