Dental, Vision and Hearing Plans

Dental Coverage

Eligible employees can choose between MetLife Dental Plan or Willamette Dental Plan for their family. Coverage in a dental plan is a mandatory benefit, paid for by the school district.

If an employee does not select an insurance carrier within their first 30 days of eligibility, they will automatically be enrolled in the Metlife Dental Plan. Changes in the election of a dental plan can only be made during Open Enrollment, November 1st through November 30th.
