Employee Benefits
Insurance
Group health insurance coverage is provided through TRS-ActiveCare, the
statewide public school health insurance program. The district’s
contribution to employee insurance premiums is determined annually by
the board of trustees. Employees eligible for health insurance coverage
include:
Employees who are active, contributing TRS members, or
Employees who are
regularly scheduled to work at least 10 hours per week
The insurance plan year is from September 1 through August 31.
For additional information, contact:
TISD Business Office
700 N. Catherine Street
972-563-7504
Or
TRS-ActiveCare, 1-866-355-5999
A new hire in a TRS-covered position who is a TRS member on his or her
actively-at-work date enrolls for coverage within 31 days after the
actively-at-work date. The employee's effective date is the
employee's choice of:
(1) his or her actively-at-work date, or
(2) the first of the month following the employee's actively-at-work
date. |
Cafeteria Plan Benefits
Employees may be eligible to participate in the Cafeteria Plan (Section
125) and, under IRS regulations, must either accept or reject this
benefit. This plan enables eligible employees to pay certain insurance
premiums on a pretax basis, i.e., disability, accidental death and
dismemberment, cancer and dread disease, dental and additional term life
insurance. A third party administrator handles employee claims made on
these accounts. |
Teacher Retirement
All personnel employed on a regular basis for one half or more of the
standard full-time workload are eligible for membership in the Texas Teacher Retirement System
(TRS).

Day Care
Terrell ISD’s Project HOPE on-site daycare
for full-time district employees is convenient,
cost-effective, safe, and reliable.
Employees pay $16.00 per school day for the
care of children age 13 to 18 months, and $14.00 per
school day for children 19 months through 4 years or
entrance in school. Care begins in August at the start of
regular teacher in-service and ends the last day of
school. The fee for daily care is multiplied by the number
of days an employee works. That total is then divided over
12 months of pay (September-August) to reduce the cost per
month for the parent. All charges are paid through a
payroll deduction.
Example:
$14.00 × 187 days
in contract = $2618 divided by 12 months = $218.17 per
month deduction.
$16.00 × 187 days
in contract = $2992 divided by 12 months = $249.33 month
deduction.
Hours are 7 am to 4:45 pm daily. We are
open all 187 days of regular school and in-service.
Employees that work different contract schedules will have
to make other arrangements for days outside the 187 day
year. We estimate 15 total yearly openings for employees’
children, including approximately 12 openings for ages 2
to 4 years, and 3 openings for ages 13 months to 23
months. For enrollment or program information, please
contact Laurie Black, Project HOPE Director, at
972-551-1153 or email her at
blackla@terrell.ednet10.net. |
