When I worked there they offer 2 free health insurance plans and several paid ones. Prescription, dental, and eye care is provided through the union.

NYC DOE has wonderful health benefits for employees. My health insurance plan costs about 12 dollars a month from my paycheck. We also have vision and dental insurance through UFT.

Former School Business Manager in Brooklyn, NY, New York State
Health insurance is free (no deduction from paycheck for premium at all) for the employee, partner and dependents, which is completely unheard of in comparable private industry.
