Spring Enrollment

Spring Enrollment takes place annually from May 1st - May 31st

What is Spring Enrollment?

The District offers qualifying health plan premiums (medical, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts) to be deducted from your pay on a pre-tax basis by operating its plan under Section 125 (a.k.a. Cafeteria Plan) of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This limits when and what changes to elections can be made - for this reason, we have a Spring Enrollment period. 

Health Care & Day Care Flexible Spending Account Plans

The District’s Spring Enrollment period is your annual opportunity to enroll or re-enroll in the two flexible spending account plans:

Health Care Flexible Spending Account - Requires enrollment/re-enrollment every year

Allows participants to be reimbursed for qualified, out-of-pocket health expenses incurred during the plan year with tax-sheltered dollars.

2024-25 Annual limit is $3,200.

Day Care Flexible Spending Account -  Requires enrollment/re-enrollment every year

Allows participants to be reimbursed for out-of-pocket child care expenses incurred during the plan year with tax-sheltered dollars.

2024-25 Annual combined household limit is $5,000.
