Superintendent Lancor presented a memo with the following highlights: • Projected enrollment for 2009-2010 based on current enrollments. • Proposed reduction in force of two K-6 teaching positions (preschool special education/regular education teacher, grade 3 classroom teacher). • Recommend reduction of one special education paraeducator for grades 7 to 12. • Recommend addition of one regular education paraeducator for grades 7 to 12. This allows 6 to 7 teachers to be relieved of study hall duty and allows them to supervise small group math learning labs. Mr. Coppinger presented a memo proposing a “Summer Credit Recovery/Reading Literacy Camp. Scenario # 2 reflected a cost of $8,563.20 to operate the program during July and August 2009. Kay Peranelli reported that the Local Government Center has provided the District with Guaranteed Maximum Rate (GMR) increases for 2009-2010 as follows: • 8.6% for the BCBS C1000 MC-Rx 10/20/30 Plan • 3.7% for the Dental Plan Kay Peranelli distributed a memo from NHRS with the District’s total employer percentage for 2009-2010. The employer rate will increase from 8.74% (2008-2009) to 9.09% and the teacher rate will increase from 5.8% (2008-2009) to 6.96%. Mr. Lancor distributed a memo outlining the projected cost increase for teacher salaries based on year 3 (2009-2010) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. After factoring in the reduction in force of two teachers, projected increases in the memo for teachers, as well as other recommendations included: • Teacher Salaries $ 52,377 • FICA for Teachers $ 4,007 • Health Insurance (all employees) $ 84,695 • Dental Insurance (all employees) $ 5,209 Total: $146,288 All of the increases outlined above (Summer Credit Recovery, GMR for insurances, NHRS, negotiated teacher salaries) will be incorporated into the 2009-2010 Preliminary Draft Budget #1. At 8:09 a.m., Laurie Whitley moved, and Kathy Garry seconded a motion, to enter non-public session under RSA 91-A:3, Paragraph II (a), (b), (c) to discuss specific personnel matters. The motion carried unanimously. • Committee members reviewed current salaries for personnel other than teachers. • Committee members discussed salary increase recommendations for specific staff members. • Committee members reviewed benefits for specific categories of staff members. At 9:27 a.m., Laurie Whitley moved, and Kathy Garry seconded a motion, to reenter public session. The motion carried unanimously. Committee members confirmed that the 2009-2010 Preliminary Budget Draft #1 would include scenario #2 for the proposed Summer Credit Recovery/Reading (Literacy) Camp. Committee members reviewed the Wellness Committee recommendation to consider including in the 2009-2010 budget funds to provide wellness (health) instruction for grades K to 5. Committee members reached consensus to ask Scott Laliberte to work with existing staff in an effort to provide wellness (health) instruction without employing additional staff. Committee members reached consensus to include the 2009-2010 Preliminary Budget Draft #1 salary increases for non-teaching staff that are equivalent to the average salary increase for teachers (approximately 5%). With all increases discussed during this meeting, the estimated increase in the budget from 2008-2009 will be $286,772. This amount results in a 2.11% increase over the 2008-2009 budget of $13,659. Committee members reached consensus to increase the stipends for the School Board Clerk and School Board Moderator to $200 in the Preliminary Budget Draft #1.
