Clyde-Green Springs teachers OK $400,000 in concessions
The two-year deal freezes base and longevity pay and raises teachers' share of health premiums, but the district still faces a deficit by 2014.
Concessions approved by the Clyde-Green Springs Education Association will save the Clyde-Green Springs Exempted Village School District nearly $400,000 over two years, Superintendent Gregg Elchert reported Monday night.
The board approved the two-year agreement, which runs through June 30, 2013. It freezes longevity pay, keeps base pay frozen and raises teachers’ share of health premiums by a point a year. Treasurer Alan Binger said members now pay 7 percent and will pay 8 and then 9 percent. The contract includes a salary reopener in the second year.
Binger presented a revised five-year forecast. It keeps the district in the black a little longer by using nearly all of its savings, but shows less than $10,000 left at the end of fiscal 2013 and a deficit of more than $2 million a year later unless there are large cuts or new money.
In Bellevue: a pay freeze for all staff. District forecasts are filed with the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce. More in Schools & Sports.
