Health Insurance (Teachers)
-
Saint Paul Public Schools offers our employees comprehensive benefits packages including medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, as well as employer contributions to pension and retirement accounts. Benefits options and contribution amounts vary by bargaining group. SPFE members have access to health insurance through PEIP. Learn more about our employee benefits here.
Class Size
-
The vast majority of classrooms at every school and every grade level across SPPS currently fall below the class size caps in the SPFE contract. In the 2023-24 school year, the average kindergarten class has 20 students, and the average high school class has 22-25 students. SPPS believes in keeping class sizes manageable without the need for strict class size caps, which negatively impact our ability to increase enrollment.
