Benefits & Retirement

Review your "Benefits at a Glance."
The Whitfield County Board of Education provides an array of employee benefits for all full-time employees.
The Board's contribution to employee benefits adds nearly 30% to our employees' pay. When you come to work here, you will participate in the best health care and retirement plans available in any industry, as well as a wide array of additional benefits like Life, Dental, Disability and Flexible Spending Accounts to protect and leverage your paycheck.
WCS offers a comprehensive benefits program to meet the needs of you and your family. You may make changes to your plan during October Open Enrollment each year. But under certain conditions such as marriage, divorce, or birth of a baby, you may be able to make adjustments to your plan now.
