ARTICLE XII: Professional Employee Compensation

Post any information related to salary, salary movement, language for payment outside the contract day, etc. on this page.

Salary and Movement
 * For the 09 - 10 school year the district is budgeting $56,000 total compensation per certified employee
 * If teachers receive their step increase, this would cost the district $186,106
 * The district is anticipating horizontal movement costing $250,000
 * Every 1% increase in salary would cost the district $250,800
 * The district is anticipating employee benefit costs rising $200,000 (health and life premium increases)
 * **What we should anticipate**
 * With the data I had available, I figured the average salary plus benefits and payroll taxes for this school year was $53,945
 * As noted above step increases would cost the district $186,106
 * As noted above horizontal movement would cost the district $250,000
 * A 2% increase at $250,800 per percent, w/ the step and horizontal movement, would bring next year's average salary to $56,004. I do not feel this is a coincidence. **I beleive the district is anticipating a 2% increase in salary.**

MA + 50 Column In a document for 2007-2008 our district ranked 309 out of 312 in the average number of years experience that teachers have in our district. The average years was about 10.245 years. We will never hold people with experience in our district if we don't provide them with incentive to stay here (i.e. more steps on the salary schedule to benefit teachers that want to further their education).

 * From Alli:**
 * Language from Shawnee Mission. Could we maybe take out the wording for our language for the 3rd sentence?**
 * Combined Classes—A maximum of $120 per day will be allocated for situations where classes are combined for coverage. This amount may be paid to one individual or distributed among several individuals. In no case, however, will the total amount exceed $120 per day for any day for one full day absence. Note for nurses: If a visit to the partnered school nurse and on-site attention to health issues is necessary, the covering nurse will be paid $20 to compensate for the loss of the visiting nurse’s planning time which typically occurs throughout Professional Day.**
