Box 99 Spotsylvania, Virginia 22553 Dear Mr. Ross: The FY 2018 School Board’s Adopted Budget reflects a needs-based budget that preserves current investments for all students, protects employees, and partially restores budgetary items previously eliminated during the most recent recession. The major budget highlights of the FY 2018 School Board Budget include: • Managing mandatory cost increases in the VRS rate (11%), and medical and vision health insurance (5.3% employer and 5% employee); • Modernization of health plan offerings. Employee’s choice of medical only, dental only, or both; • Dental coverage premium split 75%/25% between employer and employee, respectively; • Key Care 200 employee premiums have been adjusted to bring plan in balance with the same employer contribution for all plans; • Maintaining competitiveness in attracting and retaining highly skilled, dedicated and essential employees, by increasing compensation through 2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA); • Increase Substitute rates by $5 per day; • Reinstatement of hourly cafeteria aides at the elementary level, as a Pilot Program (funded from Food Service Funds); • Pilot Academic and Athletic Activity Bus Program for Post Oak Middle School and Spotsylvania High School communities; • Restore Academic and Athletic Stipends by 5%; • REACH SPED program facility renovation at Massaponax High School (funded by CIP funds); • Lower Athletic Fee from $75 to $50; • Increases in debt service in accordance with the projects in the 2018-2022 CIP; • 5% Increase for parts markup for the Joint Fleet Service Program; • Across the board non-compensation reductions; • Due to budget revenue shortfall, reduced positions to balance the budget; and • Due to the budget revenue shortfall, use of Health Insurance reserve funds to balance the budget. The first investment category includes mandatory and compliance increases. The significant increase of 11.3% in the Virginia Retirement System’s professional rate for the division’s teachers along with the increase in health insurance costs are major budget drivers for the coming year. The School Board realized savings of $850,000 by renegotiating prescription drug costs and increasing the stop-loss self-funded health insurance deductible for a projected savings of $450,000. In relation to the increasing health insurance costs, the School Board also decided to share the dental premium with the employee at a rate of 25% employee and 75% employer for an estimated savings of $400,000. The employee medical premium will increase by 5% as well. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires the division to provide affordable health care or
