**Cost: Of the 331 teachers in the bargaining unit, only 138 receive the flex payment in lieu of participating in the School Districts insurance
plan. The total cost of the flex payments to this minority of teachers is $868,296. The flex payment originates from a time prior to when the Board
provided health insurance to its employees.

*All those already on retirement continue to receive 6% increases as defined by past contract.
Cost: For FY13 the Board estimates paying approximately $1,521,158 to the 19 teachers who filed retirement notices under the current collective
bargaining agreement language. Under the current language, teachers are able to increase their salary by 26.24% over the last for years of their
employment.

Budget Projections
FY 2012/2013 - $1.6 Million Deficit Spending
FY 2013/2014 - $2.2 Million Deficit Spending*
*According to D46 Business Manager the district has included their contract
proposal, new revenue projections
Cuts in federal grants
State funding
Local property taxes

District Statement on Cuts

What does that mean for D46 students and community?
1. The district may need to eliminate 37 positions for
school year 2013-2014
2. The district has already begun discussions of the
possible need to close a school.
3. Staff raises at this time will add to the deficit and
could lead to further teacher eliminations, increased
class size enrollments and possible program
elimination.
4. There is a very real possibility that the State of Illinois
will shift some of the pension burden to the school
districts.

The Ramifications
Average Teacher Salary - $57,358
Cost Factor to District = 1.022 per dollar
Average Teacher Cost to District = $58,620
Deficit / Avg Teacher Cost = RIFs to Balance Budget
$2,200,000 / $58,620 = 38
331 38 = 294 Teachers Remaining
[Unsustainable and damaging to education of the children]

No end of career salary increases above the normal raises everyone gets
No salary schedule
** Bonus - One time payment that does not become part of the ongoing salary

How do we pay for these raises?

1. Increased State Aid due to Tax Levy Freeze
2. End the End of Career Salary Bumps
3. Healthcare Insurance Bids

Levy Freeze Helps District

Estimated actual tax revenues from an increase would be $750K
District will hit* their O&M (Operations and Maintenance) cap this
year
District will hit* the Education fund cap next year
With the tax levy increase, there will be a $1.4 million deficit next
year
Without a levy increase: 2014 $1,024,000 deficit, 2015 $189,000
surplus, 2016 $1,400,000 surplus**
*Hitting the cap means the district cannot levy any monies above this
rate cap limit.
**The surpluses are due to the affect of a frozen levy and the
continued dropping in EAV (Equallized Assessed Value) being placed
into the General State Aid formula.

About IL State Pensions
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Taxpayers have contributed more, not less, than the 1995 Fifty year pension funding law
required
Since 2001 taxpayers have contributed 230% more than teachers to the Teachers Retirement
System
Less than 1% of state retirees worked 40 years
The supposedly modest average state pensions are worth 4 times Social Security
State retirees have used more than 132,000 years of sick-leave credit to receive extra pension
without actually having to work for it
Over 44,000 retirees have annual pensions greater than their total contributions over their
entire career
The reason TRS pension liability is so high is because teachers are paid more compared to
adjoining states
If IL teachers had the same salary and pension schedule as Wisconsin we would save more than
$4 billion/yr. enough to make the annual pension payment
If the pension rules in effect in 1970 when the Pension Guarantee was added to the state
constitution were still in effect there would be no unfunded pension liability
Teachers unions have given IL politicians of both parties more than $50 million in contributions
since 1995

Healthcare Insurance Options

(District has been advised of potential savings here for at least 5 years)

Competitive Bid Estimates already presented

to the board shows savings of $300,000 year 1
and up to $5,000,000 over 3 5 years
Self Insure Savings estimates of $100,000+
year 1 and over $1,000,000 per year in 2 3
years
