403(b) & 457 Plans
The Gar-Pal school districts sponsor 403(b) and 457 tax sheltered annuity plans (the Plan). Participation is voluntary, allowing employees to make pre-tax salary deferral contributions via payroll deduction. One of the benefits of participating in the Plan is the ability to defer from taxation salary that would otherwise be currently taxable and also defer income taxes on the earnings credited to their account.
