Section 125 Plans
A Section 125 Flexible Fringe Benefits Plan is offered to employee groups identified as SCFT (Faculty), CSEA (Classified), Confidential, Management and Board. This Plan allows employees to direct a part of their pay, on a pre-tax basis, into District contracted accounts that can be used during the year for reimbursement of eligible out-of-pocket expenses. These expenses can include elective insurance premiums, a Dependent Care plan with both child and elder care, and a Medical Reimbursement plan which includes insurance deductibles and co-payments as well as many over-the-counter expenses.

A Section 125 Plan is offered to part-time faculty members (with a 40% + load) for medical and/or dental premiums only with payments forwarded on a pre-tax basis through payroll deductions to the District’s contracted provider.

Additional Elective Retirement Savings Plan
For additional retirement savings, we make available 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity (TSA) and 457 deferred compensation plans to all employees. Both plans consist of pretax contributions and tax-deferred earnings. Please refer to www.403bcompare.com for additional information, including a list of our approved vendors.

Coverdell Education Savings Accounts - 529 Plan
The District makes Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, also referred to as Section 529 - College Savings Plans, available through payroll deduction to approved vendors. Money saved in this type of account is to be used for qualified higher education expenses, including tuition, certain room and board costs, books, and required fees and supplies at eligible schools. While currently the monthly contributions to this type of account are not tax-deferred, the earnings on this money are tax-free. For more information about this savings option, go to www.irs.gov and enter “Coverdell” in the Search field.
