RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS)

Dysart Schools is proud to be a member of the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS), ranked nationally as one of the best pension programs in the country. It provides a lifetime benefit based on years of service earned, or worked, and your ending salary. It is not the same structure as a 401(k) or other defined contribution plans, which provide for a benefit based on dollars contributed, plus interest earned. As a district employee you will be participating in ASRS with deductions each paycheck.

The current contribution rate is 12.29%.

The district also sponsors 403b and 457b pre-tax and post-tax investment accounts that can be used to supplement your income when you retire. These are educational investments accounts that differ from the normal 401k accounts and provide unique opportunities for our employees to supplement their retirement savings.
