412.03 - Support Personnel Group Insurance Benefits

Support personnel shall be eligible for group insurance benefits as determined by the board and required by law.  The board shall select the group insurance program and the insurance company which will provide the program.

Support employees who work thirty (30) hours per week and are paid on a nine (9) to twelve (12) month basis shall be eligible to participate in the health group insurance plans at their own cost unless their district contract states otherwise.

Support personnel and their spouses and dependents shall be allowed to continue coverage of the school district’s group health insurance program at their own expense by meeting the requirements of the insurers.  In no event will the support employee or spouse and dependents be allowed to continue coverage at their expense if the support employee is terminated for cause.

This policy statement does not guarantee a certain level of benefits.  The board shall have the authority and right to change or eliminate group insurance programs for support employees.

Support personnel shall be entitled to workers’ compensation and unemployment benefits.  Employees interested in these benefits shall contact the board secretary.
