I have been asked to clarify the new agreement in terms of the increases in salary and health insurance contribution. See below.
Are there other aspects of the contract that need to be explained or clarified in the BTA News? Let me know, and I’ll create more Handy Guides.
The teachers’ last contract expired in June of 2010. The new agreement, to which we agreed in September 2011, increases salary and health insurance contributions as follows.
2010-2011 – 0% increase, health insurance contribution of 10% + $200
2011-2012 – 1% increase, health insurance contribution of 13%
Addition of new steps at 9A and 12A
July 2012 – 1.25% increase, health insurance contribution of 15%
No step movement
February 2013 – Step movement
You start the school year, this year with an 1.25% increase on last year's step. In February, your step will be in effect.
As a reminder, your negotiating team begins its negotiation with the District this school year. We hope (and believe) we will be able to deliver a new contract before the current contract expires in June of 2013.
