  • Lake Worth ISD offers a variety of insurance policies to employees. Policies are independent of one another, meaning that an employee does not have to enroll in one policy in order to enroll in any other policy. Detailed information can be found at the links below. ( Note: If the terms of the benefits summary differ from an issued policy, the policy will govern.)
