043bill. So um exciting that it's advancing but still uh you know cautiously optimistic. All right. So some very preliminary and very uh rough estimates you know from the mass download of data from open Casey showed we could receive upwards of $16 million. Now this is not confirmed. the bill has not passed but just with the run that B and Casey did that was what you know the first uh first number that was generated so it's certainly subject to change as the bill moves through the next stages um it does increase basic aotment from 6160 to 655 which falls way short of what we need to get us caught up with inflation since 2019 we would need over $1,000 uh increase to basic aotment um to bring us to uh equilibrium with the with the experience
044that we've had with inflation. Also included in that 16 million is 16 is significant increases to special ed and state comped and then also it provides some increases to other special programs as well. Most of this has strings attached to it and we'll see some of that in the next slides but um most of it as you can see is earmarked already with specific programs and um the basic aotment increase which is about half of the increase of the 16 million is going to have to be dedicated primarily to salaries by statute. So also um you can see here it's a little complicated but I wanted to show the um I wanted to show the uh the calculation here um it's unconfirmed 16 million in the MO case run is what what they're showing for
045increase to Goose Creek for revenue but the law states that 40% of that gain this is where the strings come come in must be used for salary increases so 16 million * 40% equals 6.4 million. So that's the bare minimum that we can spend on salary increases if this all passes. Um it also state and that's it also states that 75% of the 40% must be for teachers, nurses and librarians specifically. So 16 million * 40% * 75% equals 4.8 million for teachers, nurses and librarians specifically for their compensation. Um, it also states that 25% of the 40% must be for all other non-administrators, meaning 16 million * 40% * 25% equals 1.6 million. So, an additional 1.6 million has to be spent towards compensation for um all other non-administrator positions in the district to
046include auxiliary, paraprofessionals, and uh manual trades and and all and all the other categories. So, we just have um a few hundred administrations. All right. So, now we're going to do a review of what was uh the direction that was given to us by the board last time for the budget reduction. Um and this will be brought to you in an action item later in the meeting, but this is just for summary that this is what you all selected for us to move forward on. And it does show under current law that we would be adopting a $2.4 million deficit. um with the reductions that you see here in lines 19 through 47. So we're starting with that beginning deficit on line 17 was 6 million just over 6 million and then with the reductions
047it reduces that down to 2.482. You see this line 2411 travel is that field trip budgets? No, that is for staff budgets. Yes. 6411 staff only. Yes. Mhm. All right. So, now we get into some of these scenarios. So, now you see we had scenario A and B that we went over last meeting and and they're exactly like they were presented at last meeting. However, we have now a scenario C, which means the House Bill 2 passes. We're incorporating it in here just for illustrative purposes. If it does pass in its current form, this is what scenario C would look like. Um, you can see here the 253, everything's the same. The $253 million in revenues and then the estimated expenditures um being the 264 and scenario B in the middle is what you all
048gave direction to move forward on. Um, but now if you look on line four, you see that $6.4 million pay increase in scenario C. If that bill passes, that's the minimum that we can spend um on the salary increases provided by that statute. Um line five is the same, the 13.48 transfer in from uh capital projects and that gives us a subtotal uh revenue under expenditures of the 4.6 million. And then this is where you see the funding uh flow in at 16 million on line 7. And that would actually put us in the black for 2526. These are all scenarios. And our estimated fund balance at the end of this year on line 9 is about $89 million. But you would see our fund balance if we got that uh that bill to pass
049in its form, current form, our fund balance would be um booed back up to 100 million and we would be well in excess of our three mill 3 months uh operating expenditures required and fund fund balance reserves on line 11. So this is just kind of doing a side by side if the bill were to pass. More. Yes. on that 6 on that 6.4 million, what does that calculate out to roughly with all the different percentages that come into play? What percentage pay rates would that be across the board? Roughly, we're going to get into the details of that um here shortly, but it's about 4.5% for teachers. And then the others we're still working on some calculations cuz it's not going to be quite it wouldn't be it wouldn't equate to about to 4.5
050for everyone else. But we're going to put some scenarios together um before we meet again on uh what that might look like. But we just wanted to kind of you know show the total amount that's required at the 6.4. But once we get further along with them you know maybe changing some things and you know cuz there there will be changes to it. No doubt. I mean, it's still got to go through so many stages that we're just going with it just, you know, as stated this time. But yeah, it was it's about 4 and a half% for teachers, nurses, and librarians. And everyone else, it it ends up being less, but but more than 2%. So, all right. So now you can see here this is a this is a side by side for
0512526 in the blue column and 2627 in the green column. And here this is that scenario C that we just looked at. I just carried it forward. It's that 11.3 million in the black. Um and it's it's just the exact same um column there. But this is if hospital 2 passes early in the year. That means we know early in the year before we adopt our budget, before we're legally required to post the budget the first week of June, we know which, you know, is something that CFOs and and markets and and finance markets and the like, like certainty. So, if we know we're going to get that bill passes and the governor signs it before we have to uh legally post our budgets in June, we know what's going to happen, right? And so
052next year in 2627 in that green column um we would also know and you can see here if we wanted to factor in a 2% pay raise on line 4 in the green column um it would take us to a$18.4 without the 16 million and then you see the 16 million flow in from House Bill 2 passing and it takes us to a slight revenue under expenditures number of about $2.4 million. Um, still our fund balance would be buoyed to that 100 million. So we would hit it slightly that year for 2627. It would bring us down just below 100 million at $97.8 million on line 10 there. And then you can see we're well well within our uh 3 months operating expenditures policy. So that one's that one's certainty uh you know makes things
053move much smoother. Um, I'll get into some more scenarios here. Okay, same uh scenario B here is this is if House Bill 2 does not pass. It gets gridlocked somewhere along the way and they can't they're digging their heels in and just nothing gets passed. It becomes a defensive session at that point and nothing gets passed and we get no additional funding unfortunately. So scenario B um which incorporates the budget reduction plan just as you're you all are going to be asked to approve here later in the meeting. It's that same uh negative $2.482 million um that we talked about on line 8. Um but you see in scenario one uh for 2627 the green column if we wanted to give that 2% raise that on line four for $4.2 $2 million and we're only
054able to transfer in from capital projects that $4 million that put puts us at a $16 million deficit. You see, if we if we get no additional funding, that's what we're going to be facing next year if we wanted to give a 2% raise. So, still certainty, but not favorable certainty. So, uh without any additional funding. All right. And on this scenario, um this is that scenario C again in in blue. This is if it passes, but if it passes late in the year, we still have to comply with the law. So even if they pass it in July or August, if they have a special session, if it is uh I mean if it's signed by the governor in August, it's still going to be effective on 91 and we have to comply with
055the law as written on 91. So that's why um we're going to it it's a little bit risky because if you approve um a raise too early and then they come out and make changes or you know make additional stipulations such as you have to uh give let's say let's say it pass in its current form 16 million um and they say okay you're going to have to give a 4.5% raise to teachers, nurses and librarians. Well, if we were to go ahead and pass our 2% raise as we had planned to, they could perhaps require us to pay not only the 2% but then an additional 4 1/2% on top of it, making it a 6 1/2% raise, which would be extremely costly and not not what districts are wanting to not the direction
056we want to go with, you know, risking that happening. So, um, so, Miss Clark, what I'm hearing you say is the board has eight weeks to make a final decision and be, uh, while we can pull all these scenarios up for illustrative purposes, your recommendation would be to hold off to see if legislation passes before the board adopts a budget for next year. Yes, sir. You're absolutely right. That's exactly what we're going to recommend. So because it gets, you know, in this scenario, the later it gets um and the closer it gets um for us to adopt and to post legally post the first week of June, it it starts getting it down to the wire. But that is the recommendation. If we adopt compensation before House Bill 2 passes, we run the risk of
057having to increase compensation on top of what was already approved. to give me 2% if we approve what we what we thought we were going to uh do last time plus the 4 1.5% if the bill passed in its current form equaling 6.5. Even if the bill passes late in the summer special session, we still have to comply. And if House Bill 2 does not officially become law prior to 56, the recommendation is to move compensation plan approval to 62, which is our uh June 1 June meeting. And that is Sinai, by the way. Uh so that is the last day of the the regular session or even as late as 6:16 which is that's not the preference because that puts our compensation plan and our total budget adoption on the same day. But if
058we still don't have you know definitive um numbers and and and if House Bill 2 does not pass that is the recommendation. So, just be aware that that we're going to be watching it very closely and hopefully they will since it is it is being fasttracked right now, but it can get locked up at any point in time. So, just be aware of that. Any other questions before I pass it on to Dr. Bowlinger to discuss casting compensation? Pick your calendar on the next page. Yes, the calendar. Yes. Um, so on May 6th, we'll have our next uh budget update and we will talk about the compensation plan and any new details or new information that we have coming out of the legislature. We will certainly share that with you all. Then I have a
059question before I ask a question. Yes, sir. Do we have an attorney present tonight? No, not this evening. And I will have my questions tonight. Okay. Um, and then you see here June second, we can certainly follow up with a question for them. Um, and but then follow back up. But on Okay. On June 2nd, that is Sinai and we will talk more about um the compensation plan. Then hopefully we'll have more definitive information at that time. And then on June 16th, we are slated to have our public hearing and adopt the total benefit. That is the calendar. What's the latest we can do that? The latest we can do it um I believe is June 28th, which is after the governor has to make up his money. Right. Right. Yes. Absolutely. All right. Now,
060I'll turn it over to Dr. Winger. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Clark for all those scenarios. All right. So, what we're going to talk about are several compensation options. Um again, this is not uh to be voted on tonight. And so it's really for dialogue and feedback and then um in about a month when we come back uh just like Miss Spark said, depending on what's going on with legislation, if the bill has passed or not, then we'll uh we may have a compensation recommendation at that time or maybe push back to June. So um so I want to start off with uh our comparable district. So, we've partnered with TASBY uh to provide realistic and um and just relevant metrics uh regarding our pay. And so, what TASBY does is it compares us to
06121 other school districts that are similar in in proximity and also in uh size. And so, all of these districts that you see here on the slide are from region 4. So, we're would be district number 22. So, there's 22 in total. Um, one thing to to note, and we've said this, uh, each time we talk about compensation, is that East Houston is very competitive. Uh, one of the highest paying districts um, in in the state. Whenever we're compared to state pay, we we look we look like we're doing extremely well. Um, however, when we look like we're when we're compared to region 4 school districts on the east side for the most part, then it's is much more competitive than that. That's for a reason. It's it's the industry that we're in um the
062industry that we provide in and just surrounding districts that also are very competitive. So there there's good and bad with that. Um this slide right here is teacher market comparisons. And so the market comparison right here um what you'll see is there's a you know on the next slide it'll really paint the picture that there's very little range or variance from from the lowest paying district to the highest paying district. And so again we're all within the same ballpark. So when when you see the uh where we rank for each each type of pay is uh it's very competitive. Our starting salary is a little bit below the median. And so that's what you see on that first uh the triangle versus the square is orange. The the market median is is the blue triangle.
063Um but as you move up through years of experience, you'll see that we're we're pretty much right at the median uh for 5 year, 10 year, 15 year, 20 year. In previous years, we have been below the median uh as as years of experience uh rolls out, but because of decisions that you have made over the last two years where we've made equity adjustments on top of the raise, what that's done, and you'll see that on the next slide, that's that's pushed us uh much closer or even above the median in some cases. Okay. All right. All right. So, for this next slide again, you have 21 districts plus views create. And what this is showing is basically where we rank uh per uh pay per years of experience in in 5-year increments. And so,
064and I also put over to the left uh last year's comparison just for reference. And so, our starting pay within the group of 22 districts is we ranked 14 um out of 22. Last year, we ran 13. So, we dropped a little bit on starting pay. Of course, whenever you approve a raise, we're not sure what other districts do as well. And so, we approve our raise, they approve their raises, and then just depending on what what the uh temperature is, that could bump us up or down. But, as you get to 5 year, 10 year, 15 year, 20 year, then overall average, what you'll see is that we're pretty steady um with a ranking of 11 uh throughout. So, if you can see that at the bottom right, it's it's a 11th place, so
065to speak, for for each year increment. And when we were looking at this with with CASBY just doing the review in the previous year, you can see that we're we're pretty far behind in those years. So over on the left, we were in 17th place or 16th place or 17th place. Um and so so we we fell off, but again, because of those equity adjustments, the um that that's pushed us a lot closer with those more experienced years. And also, I would say again, uh the range between the lowest paying and the highest paying is a pretty tight range. is $5,000 between Spring ISD and Marshville ISD. There's a $5,000 range and that's that's that's not a large variance uh between the two. So, I think that's also important point to note. Uh moving right
066along um as far as some of our stipen data that I have on the on the top uh top chart there, we we're very competitive with our stipens. This doesn't list all of our stipens, but some of the key stipens such as bilingual or or a high range special education, you'll see that we're quite a bit above the median or at the median depending on which stipen you're looking at. So, that's important too because that goes on top of the pay that the teacher receives. And if they're in a critical needs area such as bilingual or special education, high needs such as behavior uh courses and then they will uh receive an additional pay for that. The next chart uh the following two charts uh break down our um our employee groups and it basically
067shows how we compare to the market. And so uh the just to summarize this that the pay grade midpoint to market uh we really want to get that close to 100%. And so that's close to 100% or slightly over 100% that tells us that we're very competitive in that pay group. And so you can see central administration, campus administration, professional and technology. On some of these fields such as technology, we're also compared to private industry. And so sometimes it's a little bit lower because private industry pays a whole lot more than public schools in certain areas such as um police or technology. And so sometimes those numbers can be a little deceiving. But um where you see significant gaps what what will happen is in the recommendations we'll try to make equity adjustments along with
068the pay raise to try to shore those up and clean those up. So the one that I want to point out is manual trades. You'll see that manual trades is it is quite a bit below market uh midpoint is at 93% and again we really want that closer to 100%. And so whenever you see the different compensation models on top of whatever that percentage is, if it's 2% or 3%, we'll also slide in some equity adjustments for certain areas to try to catch us up just so that we're competitive in in all areas uh in all employee groups. All right. So what I want to do at this point is go through the models. I'll take a little bit more time on model one and then then model 2, three, and four uh is basically
069the same thing, just different numbers. Uh so it will be easy to follow. And if you have any questions during the time, please feel free to to ask those. And so model one, this is what it will look like for a 2% increase across the board. And so, uh, I'll point out a few items here. First of all, starting teacher pay right now is at 635. And so that would jump to 64475 with a, uh, with a 2% pay increase. And then you can see you have hand uh board members. So it's probably a little bit easier for you to see than the audience but um on the numbers it shows you the cost for each pay group. So for example not yet. So for for teachers, nurses and librarians the cost for a 2%
070raise is 2,225 uh,410. And so 2.2 2 million and some change for that 2% raise. And then you can go down for each each employee group to see what that 2% raise would cost uh broken down and itemized. So 745,000 for uh for professional administrative staff, clerical pair professional, it's 516,000. So again, you can go through um each category. The uh there there are certain equity adjustments that I mentioned. So again, the one that that they're throughout each group. So any any uh pay grade that looks below where it needs to be, those have been adjusted. So I think the one I want to point out is manual trades. If you notice, 385 positions are listed as um as the adjustments were were made on top of that 2%. If you can see that. So
071that 385 which cost almost $100,000 that that's to get those uh employee up a little bit higher. So the total cost for a 2% increase across the board is uh $4.1 billion. Okay. All right. Um so model 2 is 3%. Again I'm going to show four models. And so that was the first model. Uh model 2 is 3%. And so again our starting pay for teachers is 63.5. A 3% raise would raise that to 65150. Um the cost for a 3% raise for for teachers, nurses, and librarians only would be 3.3 million and some change. And so that's listed um right over here in that top category. And then here just just down the line. Um when you give a bigger raise like the 3% raise, it does catch some of those equity adjustments um
072along the way. And so that raise some of those groups up. And so um so sometimes the equity adjustments aren't as expensive. Um, whenever you give a larger raise, of course, the overall package is more expensive. Um, the total cost for a 3% raise is is a little bit over $6 million. So, again, just as a reminder, a 2% raise is 4.1 million. Uh, for for all staff, a 3% raise is is 6 million. One thing I did want to point out regarding our police officers, this is one area where where uh we and and a lot of other districts are having a hard time recruiting. Um city uh municipalities pay pay really well for police officers. There's a shortage and so school districts are also competing. And so uh on February, starting in February,
073we made a meteor adjustment to our police officers to help with recruiting purposes. And it it was a $2 an hour increase which equated to about a 6% raise. And so this just graphs that outline on on what that did. So starting the year on July 1, you can see that our average pay for East Creek officers was was 3164 an hour. And then um starting in February, that that number jumped to almost $2 an hour. And then um if a 2% raise were applied, it would jump even higher. And so what that's done is that that's helped us be a lot more competitive, much more competitive with uh attracting and retaining police officers. So, just wanted to point that out. Um, okay. So, model 3 is a 4% increase. And so, initially we weren't
074going to show uh a 4% increase or or a 3% increase really um just due to the budget deficit. But in light of what's happening in legislation, as Miss Clark shared, um if if we do get additional funding and then 40% 40% of that funding must go to teacher, nurses, and librarian pay, then we have to hit a certain dollar amount. Uh and we get that money from the state. But we also have to hit that. And I believe that number was 4.8 billion for teachers, nurses, and librarians, right? Okay. So, um, so we want to show you kind of how how we would get to that number, um, and what it would cost for all staff. And then you can also look at just teachers, nurses, and librarians. All right. So, for a 4%
075increase, uh, teachers starting to go from 635 to 60 65,850. So, that's my first bullet point. Um, if you move over to the graph, you can see that a 4% increase for teachers, nurses, and librarians only are at 4.4 million. So, it's a little still a little bit below what the requirement would be if that bill sticks the way we think it will or if it, you know, if it's passed as it's written right now. Um, we do have equity adjustments built in as well. And then the total cost for a 4% increase would be 7.9 million. Okay. But 4.8 8 of that, I'm sorry, 4.4 of that 7.9 will be a requirement um to try to get to that that 40% of what we're allowed. Hopefully that makes sense. And so we we asked
076uh Tasmin to provide one more model, a 4.5% increase. And the reason why we would do a 4.5% increase is because that actually pushes us to to what we'd have to spend um if that bill passes. And so that that's that's what these two models are for. Um, so teachers, nurses, and librarians, uh, with a 4.5% increase. Starting pay again is 635 right now. That would jump it quite a bit to 66150. And then the cost for a uh 4.5% raise is 4.9 million and some change. And so that gets us over the the 4.8. So hopefully that makes sense. And then a total total cost to the district. If the district were to say we're going to do a 4.5 for everyone, you can see where it is for each category. it would be
0778.8 million. So most likely if the bill passes in May, we'll come back and present more more of a refined presentation on what we're required to do as a district versus what what different models would look like 4.5 for teachers and then maybe something else for for other staff or or some complications if we were to do that. Um or what what a certain percentage across the board would look like based off the funding that we receive. And so hopefully we'll have a more refined targeted presentation once we get more information on on what direction the state is going regarding funding. I've got I think I have two more slides. Just want to show this real fast. This is the the pay scales for teachers for each model. And so just just for your reference,
078you can see starting teacher pay all the way down to 31 years um and over what that would look like around 2% 3% 4% and 4.5%. And so, um, I did put on on the bullet points a 2% increase would be, uh, for teachers, nurses, and librarians only. That that's all this is right here is, uh, an additional 1,375 for a 2% raise. Uh, for a 3% raise, it jumps to right above 2,000. So, that would be the increase for uh, teachers, nurses, and librarians. For a 4% raise, uh, it's it's 2750 increase. And then for a 4 and a.5% raise, it's right over 3,00 3,850. So that just shows you the pay scales for teachers for each each of the four levels. Okay. So that that's the compensation uh options that we're looking at
079at this time. And if you have any questions, we'll we'll be glad to answer those. I think it's important to note that Dr. calls are presented multiple multiple options and the board will only be asked to consider one. But we're just trying to have all the information possible not knowing what the legislature will do. And uh but the legislature based upon early indications will likely propose one of those scenarios that you just saw. Okay. Thank you. Any questions for the team? Miss Clark or Dr. Thank you. Okay. Now move to eight action items. Okay. At this time I would like to administratively request that action item 8A uh be held until consideration following closed meeting and that we move forward with the consent agenda items.
