The background check is required by state law (RCW 28A.400.303) for anyone with regular unsupervised access to students. There’s a short turnaround from submission to clearance.
Monte’s certificated and classified employees are represented by their respective unions. The current CBAs:
Each CBA covers wages, benefits, working conditions, and grievance procedures specific to that bargaining unit. Standalone documents include:
If you’re a current employee with a CBA question, your union representative is your first call. HR can also pull a clean copy of the current article for you.
Monte employees receive benefits through the Washington School Employees’ Benefits Board (SEBB) — the statewide benefits program for school district employees and their dependents. Through SEBB you can choose from medical, dental, vision, life, and disability plans.
Benefits eligibility starts when an employee is anticipated to work 630 hours or more in a school year. New-hire enrollment happens within the first 31 days of eligibility; existing employees can change plans during the annual SEBB Open Enrollment window each November.

For SEBB-specific questions, log in to Benefits 24/7 (the SEBB enrollment portal — link from HCA), or call SEBB Customer Service at 1-800-200-1004. For Monte-specific questions about onboarding, missed deadlines, or qualifying life events, contact Stephanie Klinger.
All eligible employees are members of a Washington Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) plan:
Plan choice (Plan 2 vs. Plan 3) typically happens within your first 90 days of eligible employment — this is a permanent decision, so don’t miss the window. DRS sends materials and offers free counseling to help you compare.
For DRS-specific questions: (800) 547-6657. For Monte payroll and contribution questions: contact Stephanie Klinger or Shannon Meservey (Payroll · Benefits · A/P) at the District Office.
