This is an important update for employees of Polk County Public Schools about their benefits.
Open enrollment begins Saturday, Oct. 11.
Open enrollment is the annual opportunity for PCPS employees to update or change their benefit selections—no qualifying life event (e.g., marriage, adoption, birth of a child, etc.) is required.
PCPS employees must manage their benefits using our online system, Benefitplace. For more information or to log into Benefitplace, visit polkschoolsfl.com/benefitplace.
Please be advised that paper enrollment forms will not be accepted. You must use Benefitplace to make any changes.
The open enrollment period will end on Oct. 31. Changes to your benefits will be effective January 1, 2026.
You can get in-person assistance with Benefitfocus and learn more about your benefits during our Health & Benefits Fairs:
