Here is an estimate. A 1% increase in pay for the teachers represents about $859,000. With approximately 1000 teachers, this represents $859 increase in pay this year. Going from $11 a pay period to 20% co-pay is an increase approximately $1920 for the same teacher. 1920-859= $1061 extra savings per teacher for each year. For teachers who originally paid $11 per pay period this is a savings of $1.9 Million. Being able to move from 2.0 weighting for Jr high schools to 1.5 weighting with a conservative estimate of a reduction in 5 teacher positions saves us, conservatively, $400,000 each year. With more reductions, there would be more savings.
