About Employee Benefits

Eugene School District 4J offers a wide and diverse selection of medical, dental and vision plans. We understand the importance of your professional and personal life. To that end, we administer a comprehensive benefits package designed to help employees stay healthy, prepare for the unexpected, care for their families, and build a secure future. The package options include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, tax-free spending accounts, an employee assistance program, and retirement savings plans. 

As a benefits-eligible employee at Eugene School District 4J, your benefits begin on the day you start in your benefits-eligible position. The district offers mandatory benefits which you are automatically enrolled into and optional benefits which you can choose to enroll in.

All benefit-eligible employees are offered the same benefits:
