All employees are eligible, on a voluntary basis, for certain types of health insurance.
These are provided through the Teacher Retirement Program and depend on years of service and age. For example persons under 60 years of age with from 1 to 25 years of service will receive death benefits consisting of their total retirement contributions and total earned interest plus an amount equal to the previous year's salary. Upon written request to the principal by the staff member, professional leave for the purpose of attending relevant Professional meetings or workshops may be granted. At a staff member's request and approval by the superintendent, maternity leave is granted without pay. The staff member and the administration will agree upon the length of the leave taking into account the needs of the school system and the staff member.
