Notes on BOE’s May 4 offer to PREA: Salary increase offer of 2.44% is retroactive to July 1, 2014; sufficient to fully fund the cost of increment on the current salary guide Salary increase of 2.3% in year 3 is more than the cost of increment on the current salary guide Effective total compensation offer is higher than statewide average settlements Similar to PAA & PRESSA agreements, board’s offer of additional compensation is contingent on shared savings from HC cost-containment measures and on maintaining Tier 4 health care contribution levels Since July 2014, over 107 local teachers’ unions in New Jersey have settled with their school boards with no changes to their Chapter 78 premium contribution levels If association accepted shared savings in form of healthcare relief stipends (as PRESSA did), that amount is non-pensionable, non-cumulative and only paid to employees who take healthcare benefits If association accepts shared savings in form of additional salary, that amount would be pensionable, cumulative and distributed to all employees on negotiated salary guide Board’s salary offer in years 2 & 3 proposed distribution of at least $175,000 of total dollars in each year to employees hired before 9/2011 currently on steps 3 through 8 to address inequities in current guide Board made clear offer was not “final” but subject to further negotiation; board requested counter-offer and/or another working session; PREA negotiating team chose to go to factfinding Board continues to be open to further conversation
