Welcome to Lorain City Schools!
As a new hire, you are eligible for LCS benefits. Please refer to your email for your important enrollment deadline and benefits effective date.
All new employees have thirty (30) days from their start date to complete the new hire benefits enrollment. If enrollment is not completed within this time frame, you will not be enrolled in any LCS benefits. Your next opportunity to enroll will be:
- Due to a qualifying life event, or
- During the next Open Enrollment period in May 2026.
From this page, click the link in the upper right corner titled “New Hire Benefit Enrollment Only”.
Be sure to review the Resource Document Tile, which includes valuable information needed to complete your enrollment:
- Rates and Plan Summaries for Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Dependent Care Account details and enrollment form
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) information
Lorain City Schools requires that if your spouse is eligible to participate in group health insurance and/or prescription drug insurance through their own employer or retirement plan, they must enroll in that coverage.
- A spouse who does not enroll in their available employer-sponsored or retirement coverage will be ineligible for benefits under the LCS group insurance plan.
- Your spouse’s employer must complete the Spousal Eligibility Form to determine their eligibility.
