Supplemental Coverage for Washoe County School District Employees
Washoe County School District teachers and staff serve northern Nevada's largest school system, with careers that often span decades. Despite significant professional contributions, WCSD employees often hold group life coverage well below adequate levels for Reno's current cost of living. A teacher earning $58,000 with a Reno-area mortgage and family needs coverage that group benefits rarely approach. Supplemental individual life insurance from an A-rated (A.M. Best) carrier provides northern Nevada educators with affordable, portable coverage that grows alongside their careers. Agents in our network serve WCSD employees throughout the Reno-Sparks metro area.
Guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance carrier. No personalized coverage recommendation is made — work with a licensed agent to determine what is right for your situation.
