Insurance Plans and Eligibility

Pekin Public Schools District 108 offers all full-time employees the eligibility to enroll in the District's health and dental insurance plans.  Full time employees are regularly scheduled to work a minimum of 30 hours per week.

You may also enroll your eligible dependents: your lawful spouse, civil union, your dependent child(ren) under age 26 (age 30 if military) and/or your disabled adult dependent.
