Employee Benefits

VUSD's benefits package, including health insurance, is one of the most competitive packages in Southern Arizona! We are one of the only districts with a PPO plan that is 100% FREE to its district employees (employee-only tier). Our preferred dental and vision employee-only plans are also fully paid by the District.

This page is designed to provide all current and prospective employees with the information you need for you and your family's health insurance and health care.

We also know that when our staff and families feel their best physically, mentally, and emotionally, they are better able to thrive in the classroom and out.
