All K-12 school districts, educational service districts, and charter schools participate in the Washington State Health Care Authority SEBB Program. The SEBB Program administers health care packages and other benefits for eligible school employees statewide. Program benefits include:

• Fully and self-insured medical plans with prescription drug benefits
• Dental and Vision plans
• Life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance
• Long-term disability insurance
• Medical and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account

District employees who work 17.5 or more hours per week will contribute to the State of Washington Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) pension plan options.  Most new employees have 90 days from their hire date to make their plan selection between Plan 2 or Plan 3.  Some DRS retirees can now work up to 1,040 hours without compromising their pension benefits.

Healthy staff and teachers are our most valuable resource for creating safe and supportive learning environments. Everett Public Schools subscribes to a number of services available to all staff to serve as a resource during different challenges that life can bring.

Everett Public School employees are eligible for paid leave accumulations upon hire, depending on the position. Collectively bargained agreements, district leave policies, federally protected leave, and state paid leave are all considered for each unique situation.
