Code No. 406.5
LICENSED EMPLOYEE GROUP INSURANCE BENEFITS
Licensed employees are eligible for group insurance and health benefits. The board will select the group insurance program and the insurance company which will provide the program. Since the district employs less than an average of at least 50 full-time employees (including an equivalent for part-time employees), the district is not subject to the ACAs Employer Mandate.
Full time licensed employees are eligible to participate in the health and major medical, life, and long-term disability group insurance plans. Regular part-time employees who wish to purchase insurance coverage may participate in group insurance programs by meeting the requirements of the insurer. Full-time and regular part-time licensed employees who wish to purchase insurance coverage for their spouse or dependents may do so by meeting the requirements of the insurer.
Licensed employees and their spouse and dependents may be allowed to continue coverage of the school district’s group health insurance program if they cease employment with the school district by meeting the requirements of the plan.
The policy statement does not guarantee a certain level of benefits. The board will have the authority and right to change or eliminate group insurance programs for its licensed employees.
