Transcript Salary Increments

Negotiating in 2014 vs. Negotiating in 2011
In 2014 it is STILL a FIGHT to keep what you have NYS
In 2014 there is:
• GAP Elimination:
Take back of school aid from Component Districts
• State Aid formula that negatively impacts rural districts hardest:
Majority of the Component Districts
• State Tax Cap:
Enacted since 2011- Severely Impacts Component Districts
• State Aid Cap:
Enacted since 2011 – Impacts both BOCES and Component
Districts. Limits amount of State Aide to NYS School Districts
at the personal income growth amount in NYS
• Continued Negative public opinion regarding public employees
• NYS PROPERTY TAX FREEZE – NEW this year- fear further negative
impact on Component District
Regional Teacher Settlements Since May 2012
• Majority of Salary increases range from 1.75% to 2.9% each year of new
contract
• Health insurance contribution changes include:
No change in contribution rate but change in Base
Plan (e.g. From Select to Value) which is tied to increase in salary
No change in Base Plan but increase in
contribution rate (e.g. increase by 3% - 5%) and
tends to be tied to increase in salary
No change in Base Plan or contribution rate. This
tends to be due to: a very low salary increase, and/or
everyone already contributing in the range of 15%- 20%
• Introduction of more Health Insurance Plan choices or less expensive
plans
