At Charlottesville City Schools, we offer a generous and comprehensive benefits package to our employees, including group health insurance, dental and vision care plans, life insurance and membership in the Virginia Retirement System.
New employees enroll in benefits at the start of their job. Employees can change their choices either annually during the “open enrollment” period in May or with a qualifying event (such as the birth of child or a change in a spouse’s employment).
