New Hires & Recruiting

Your benefits become effective the first of the month following your official hire date. You will have within 31 days from your official date of hire to complete and submit new hire benefits paperwork. Information about medical, dental, vision, and other benefits can be found in the Benefits section of our website.

Once you become an employee, you will have access to the Staff Portal where additional information, forms, and details pertaining to your benefits can be found.

Planning for Retirement

Employees contribute 9% into the retirement plan. This amount is set by the state retirement system and cannot be increased or decreased. The district contributes a total of 21.81 % for each employee.  For employees that elect to participate in the State ORP plan, 5% of the employer contribution is remitted directly to the employee’s State ORP service provider. More information can be found in the Benefits Quick Links.

The Beaufort County School District understands the need and importance for quality mental health care for our students and our staff. That's why we partner with Hello Hero, a free and confidential service for our employees.

We believe strongly in supporting our teachers throughout their professional journey. Our Induction and Mentoring Program underscores professional growth within the domains of planning and instruction, including mandatory requirements in accordance with the State Department of Education Induction Guidelines, and assisting new teachers as they navigate practical aspects and protocols of the job.

We have also found that mentoring helps new teachers build trusting and long-lasting relationships with other faculty members and school administrators, fostering a positive mind-set for professional growth that ultimately supports a primary district initiative - to recruit and retain quality educators who are committed to helping students achieve their academic and career goals through a continuous improvement model.

If you have questions about the Induction and Mentoring Program, please reach out to District Mentor Suzanne Lange and her team by emailing: BCSDLeadMentorTeachers@beaufort.k12.sc.us or calling 843-322-2301.
