Program Details
The district contracts with an insurance provider to offer a standard term life policy, typically covering 1–2 times a teacher's annual salary. The policy is automatic for full‑time staff; part‑time or substitute teachers may need to opt in.
How to Verify and Enroll
Teachers can check their coverage status on the district HR portal or by contacting the benefits administrator. If not automatically enrolled, they must complete a short enrollment form before the annual open enrollment window.
Additional Options
Beyond the free basic plan, teachers may purchase supplemental coverage at group rates, which are often lower than individual market prices.
