Harmony teachers, staff receive benefits upgrade

Teachers and other staff members of  Harmony Public Schools will receive a major upgrade to their employer-paid benefits package after Harmony’s executive board unanimously approved a benefits expansion.

The package will go into effect later this spring with the start of Harmony’s annual benefits enrollment period, and includes new employer-paid benefits related to health care, retirement, and life insurance.

“The past year, the world has seen the true value of our teachers and team members in a way they never have before,” Harmony Public Schools CEO Fatih Ay said. “These professionals who take such good care of our students deserve to know that they are being taken care of, as well – both their immediate needs and their long-term needs. So we are excited to be able to offer them an additional set of benefits that saves them money on their health care costs each month, while also helping them prepare for their retirement down the road.”

Ay added, “The investments with the best returns are always the investment made in people. We’ll continue to make these kinds of investments on behalf of our employees as often as we can.”

Harmony Public Schools has campuses in 23 Texas cities including Brownsville.
