SALARY
Each teacher's salary is increased by the negotiated percentage each year. The teacher may also receive increased compensation based on an educational advancement. The initial salary for each teacher shall be established by the Board. Teachers hired from outside the District shall not be hired at a salary greater than a current teacher who has the same education and experience.

For each subsequent contract year, the starting salary for newly hired teachers with no prior experience will increase by one-half (½) of the percentage increase as provided below to existing teachers.
For all other teachers, the Board will increase the teachers' base salary as follows, provided none of the teacher's increases in creditable earnings in the years used to determine the teacher's pension cause the Board to be subject to any penalty or would require the District to make an employer contribution or payment of any kind to TRS. Otherwise, the teacher's creditable earnings increase will be capped at the percentage permitted by TRS to avoid a penalty or employer contribution or payment.

BENEFITS
MEDICAL INSURANCE. The Board agrees to provide each full-time teacher with a hospitalization and major medical insurance policy. For the term of the Agreement, the Board will offer one PPO policy and one HMO policy. For those full-time teachers employed and working prior to the end of the 20192020 school year, the cost of single coverage shall be borne by the Board. For those full-time teachers employed after the end of the 2019-2020 school year, the Board agrees to pay 90% of the premium cost for single coverage. For all fulltime teachers electing dependent coverage, the Board agrees to pay 15% of the difference between the single and dependent premium cost for those full-time teachers with less than 10 years of District service and 25% of the difference between the single and dependent premium cost for those full-time teachers with more than 10 years of District service. A full-time teacher married to another District employee will not receive a credit for single health insurance coverage unless the full-time teacher was receiving the benefit prior to the 2019-2020 school year. For a full-time teacher who declines the District's medical insurance coverage during enrollment of each year of this Agreement, the Board shall reimburse that full-time teacher a maximum of $1,000 in medical expenses, including premiums for medical insurance coverage with an insurer other than the District's health insurer. Full-time teachers must submit evidence of medical expenses to the District no later than May 15 to qualify for this reimbursement. The reimbursement shall be made on the first paycheck of June. If the full-time teacher later accepts the District's medical insurance coverage, the Board shall adjust the maximum available reimbursement, by reducing the amount proportionally for the number of months of coverage under the District's medical insurance. The benefits of the medical insurance coverage shall be no less than those in effect during the previous school year.
DENTAL INSURANCE. The Board shall provide each full-time teacher at the Board's cost a group dental insurance policy. The benefits of the plan shall be no less than those in effect during the previous school year.
LIFE INSURANCE. The Board shall provide each full-time teacher with a $20,000 basic life and accidental death and dismemberment policy at the Board's expense.
