Foreword
The Teton County School District #1 salary schedule for the 2011-12 school year is based upon the evidenced-based model funding provided by the State of Wyoming Legislature. This adequacy finance structure was adopted in 2006 after a comprehensive recalibration of K-12 public education funding. The Wyoming model provides for both equitable distribution of resources and adequate quality of resources for the purpose of raising student achievement. An EvidenceBased Approach to Recalibrating Wyomings Block Grant School Funding Formula, can be found at http://legisweb.state.wy.us. Salary calculations are determined by a comparison of statewide averages and adjusted by variations in experience and education. A regional cost adjustment (RCOL) is then applied to all personnel categories. This was a result of the litigation that TCSD #1 was involved in from 2003 - 2006. The RCOL adjustment provides for a significant increase to salary amounts compared to statewide averages. The net result of Teton County School District No.1 Employee Compensation Package for fiscal year 2011-12 is a model based salary schedule with a top ranking due to the RCOL. The Wyoming State Legislature did not award an external cost adjustment (ECA) for FY12 and the regional cost adjustment remained the same as FY11. TCSD #1 continues to maintain a highly competitive salary schedule in comparison to other employers in Teton County. Furthermore, TCSD #1 was able to maintain an excellent health benefits package, where the districts pays the full premium cost and contributes to a health savings account. However, TCSD #1 will need to be very vigilant of the RCOL during the upcoming school year. An examination and possible change to this salary adjustment is being review by the Education Committee of the Wyoming Legislature which has the potential to impact future salary schedules.

Days Worked and Specifications by Employee Group

Certified Staff & Teachers Teachers are contracted for 190 days: 175 teaching days and 15 professional development/parent conference days. Teachers with National Board Certification as recognized by W.S. 21-7-501 will be afforded additional compensation by the State of Wyoming of $4,000.00 in December of each year. In addition, TCSD #1 will pay benefits. There are some employees who have earned a national certification that is outside the National Board Certification (e.g. Speech Language Pathologists). These employees will continue to receive $2,000 plus benefits paid by TCSD #1. The BA+60 column on the teacher salary schedule applies only to teachers attaining this level before the 1992-1993 school year. It is an inactive column for all others. Newly hired certified staff with in-state teaching experience will be placed on the salary schedule based on Wyoming State Statute 21-7-105. Certified staff must maintain all Wyoming State certification requirements. Teachers will receive notification of renewal or termination prior to April 15th.

Medical Benefits
The TCSD Board of Trustees has worked extremely hard in the area of benefits in these challenging economic times with continual rising costs of health care. While TCSD was able to increase the current coverage and support for this school year, there may be changes in FY13 due to the unknown additional costs of the health care reform. TCSD employees have had the full privilege of a robust health care benefit for many years. This year, TCSD renewed the qualified High Deductible health Plan (HDHP) with an associated Health Savings Account (HSA). Our medical benefit program is provided by Wyoming Educators Benefit Trust and administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Wyoming. The Health Savings Account allows employees to accumulate pre-tax salary deductions to be applied against future health care costs. It also allows the employer to contribute funds as well. Each year, the Board of Trustees determines whether the budget can support a contribution to employee Health Savings accounts. All staff will receive medical benefit coverage under the following program: Year 1 of employment Year 2 Year 3+ Single Coverage only paid by district Single +50% of additional dependent coverage paid by district Full coverage paid by district

Our dental insurance claims processor is Delta Dental. If you have any questions regarding dental coverage, please call Delta Dental at 1-800-735-3379. If there are questions regarding insurance coverage, please contact Della Walsh at 733-2704. Other contacts include BCBS Services Department at 1-800-442-2376 or 733-3909, or Summit Insurance at 733-2055.
