For purposes of this policy, "full-time regular employees" (1.0 FTE) includes certified school instructors, certified administrators, and other regular certified or classified employees. All full-time employees of the Board of Education are eligible for all benefits required by statute or regulation and such other benefits as are allowed under any insurance program approved for participation by the Board of Education. Employees who are not full-time regular employees are eligible for only such benefits as are required to be provided by law or regulation to part-time employees.

Full-time regular employees who are on Board-approved leave of absence may retain eligibility for all insurance coverage benefits provided such employee contributes the total premium owed, including the employers' contribution, during such leave.

Pilot Project for 2001-02 SY: In the case of regular full-time employees going on a job-share status for a year, such employees may participate in their same benefits provided such employee is tenured, was enrolled in the benefits program the prior year, and will pay the full premium for the offered benefits.
