Your "total compensation package" is a lot more than just your salary. It includes, but is not limited to, your sick and vacation days, your paid holidays, life insurance paid for by the district, access to free counseling services through our EAP (Employee Assistance Program), and your health insurance package including medical benefits with pharmacy coverage, dental, and vision.
This graphic shows how our district benefits stack up to other nearby school districts within Kansas. These rates assume you have met your wellness credits, which give you a discount on your premium. The rates provided from both USD 259 and surrounding school districts are based on rates for the 2024 calendar year. You will note our competitive rates compared to other surrounding districts. We continue to aim for taking care of our employees and strive to be known as the district of choice with competitive benefit offerings. Click the image below to see the benefits packages.
