Comparison of Budgeted Reserves vs Actual Reserves

Budgeted Reserves

Actual Reserves

An established practice of freezing and delaying movement for members on step

Step members will be 4% behind for rest of career, will take one year longer to reach professional status, a loss in earnings as well as retirement $$

There would be a loss of 1% to salary impacting all members for rest of their careers

Will stay considerably behind other districts in insurance compensation

Hillsboro is losing status as a “destination district” to one where those new to education will come until they can find a better deal elsewhere.

“An established practice of freezing and delaying movement for members on step”

Each time the District imposes a delayed movement (taking two years to move up one step) there is a loss of 4% until you reach the top.

Here’s a look at one member who is a first year teacher with a master’s degree. Here is the impact on earnings with just 2 instances of delayed movement. Remember: once the “easy way” to solve the budget problem is found, it will be used again, and again…..

WHAT ABOUT MEMBERS AT THE TOP OF THEIR COLUMN?

This isn’t just about step, we have other issues we are working on:

We are advocating for a 1% COLA next year.

For 2012-13, we are asking for an increase from

1%-3% depending on actual district funding.

We are asking for small, yet steady increases to our

health care caps. Our members are already picking up

the majority of increases.

We are trying to make gains in contract language that

matters most to our members based on the bargaining

survey.

What happens if we go on strike?

Strike pay for members

Insurance payments

No-interest loans

Days lost can be negotiated back

or pay-cut days can be used

Make sure you understand and can speak to the issues

Attend board meetings

Write letters to the editor

Talk to community members

Talk to board members

Hang in there. Pace yourself. Support each other.

Solidarity and standing together strong
