TRS contribution is salary
 The Board paid contribution is nearly 10% of your wages
 It is bargained and agreed to that the District pays this amount on your behalf
 The total amount is reported as Creditable Earnings to TRS
Step/Lane/Insurance Premium
 Step alone amounts to $8.7M over the three year agreement
 Lane movement by our members accounts for approximately $700k per year
 Insurance Premium – 90% is paid for by the District, members pay 10%
 2012 PPO Single is $7,764 for which members only pay $776
 2012 PPO Family is $22,128 for which members only pay $2,213
Total number of administrators has decrease over the last 5 years
 Administrators returning to their position experienced a two year salary freeze from 2009-2011
Reopeners
 Legislation being considered today in Springfield can shift $16M in TRS obligations to the District
 Cap-on-cap legislation has the potential of making our Agreement unaffordable to the District
without another large scale reduction in force (RIF)
 Task Force Reopener provides all of our members a voice and a vote; not just the Board of
Education
