General Benefits Information

Blue Valley Unified School District #229 is pleased to provide its employees with a broad spectrum of employee benefits. As an employee of the Blue Valley Schools, you may choose to participate in benefits programs designed to help meet your personal and professional goals. Most employees are eligible to enroll in the school district's insurance plans if they are regularly scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week. Blue Valley pays for the single base plan health insurance premium for eligible employees. Every eligible employee must participate in the health insurance plan. Upon your date of hire, coverage typically becomes effective the first of the month following 30 days from the date you complete and return your enrollment forms to the Benefits Department.

Except for the Open Enrollment Period in August of each year, life changing events are the only other times during the Plan Year that you can apply to make changes to insurance benefit coverages. These events include: marriage, divorce, birth, adoption, death, or a change in employment status (part-time to full-time, full-time to part-time, or termination of employment) for either you or your spouse. These events open a 30 day window to make an application for changes in coverage. When enrolling or applying for coverage changes, all necessary forms are obtained and processed through the Benefits Department located at the District Office. If you have questions regarding your benefits, please contact Tammy Madouras at 239-4674.

The Blue Valley School District #229 expects to continue the benefit plans described in this summary, but reserve the right to modify, amend, suspend, or terminate any non-contractual plan or benefits in whole or in part at any time for any reason.

Benefits documentation will be provided on the Blue Valley Intranet in the future, however, temporarily the information can be found on the employee login section (bottom of the page).
