4. See DistrictBudget 2010-2011 p. 63 Fund balance reflects the net financial resources of a fund – in other words, assets minus liabilities – in simpler terms, dollars available to spend. If some of the funds’ resources are not available to spend, this would be indicated by “restricting” or “reserving” a portion of fund balance. WHAT IS FUND BALANCE?

5. General Fund Balance – 5 years

6. GFB – 5 year trend

7. Nonspendable– The net current financial resources that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Generally, not in spendable form means that an item is not expected to be converted to cash – examples include inventory, prepaid amounts, long-term amounts of loans and notes receivable, and property acquired for resale. Restricted – The portion of fund balance on which constraints have been placed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, constitutional provisions, or enabling legislation. Committed – The portion of fund balance that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the highest level of decision-making authority – the district school board. These amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the district school board removes or changes the specified use by taking the same action it employed to previously commit the amounts. *Assigned – The portion of fund balance that is intended to be used for specific purposes, but is neither restricted or committed. *Unassigned – The portion of fund balance that represents amounts that are not nonspendable, restricted, committed or assigned to specific purposes. *represents the Unreserved funds.

10. Salary Comparisons

11. Teacher Average Salary Compared

12. Why Does the Average Salary Decline? • The Lapse Factor • Loss of experienced employees replaced with entry level employees • The gap in wages and benefits between the two employees is the Lapse • Benefits that are a percent of wages, FRS, UEC, and Worker’s Compensation also add to the Lapse • The amount of time that a position remains unfilled adds to the Lapse factor savings.

21. Comparison of Benefits Schedule

22. Comparison of Premiums

23. Adverse selection occurs as the cost of a benefit increases for everyone in a group and some portion of that group has an advantage that allows access to the benefit at a cheaper cost.

26. Florida Statute §112.08(2)(b) ... After implementation of an approved plan, each local governmental unit or consortium shall annually submit to the Office of Insurance Regulation a report which includes a statement prepared by an actuary… as to the actuarial soundness of the plan. The report is due 90 days after the close of the fiscal year of the plan.

27. Review of 112.08 Filings Show: • Since 2006, small increases in funding have been consistently recommended • These small increases have not been implemented and have increased in size annually • As reserves decreased, recommendations have increased exponentially • In 2006, the Premium Holiday was given even though a funding increase was recommended and not fully implemented.

28. Review of 112.08 Filings Show: • Insurance deficit occurred from inaction on recommendations unknown to employees • Employees already face economic pressure from stagnant wage rates, inflation, 3% FRS state tax, and reductions in hours • In addition, the District has proposed an exorbitant cost shift to the employees for health care • Employees should not be responsible to make up for the District’s failure to act in a timely manner!

29. Comparison of District Proposals January to July 2011

30. What Do We Know? • Your employees need affordable health care • District has limited resources • General Fund Balance allows some temporary relief • We must invest wisely for the future • Wellness Programs are proven • District run Free Health Clinics • Review current use of benefits • Cost of our Pharmacy Benefit was controlled

31. District’s Proposal will: • Create economic discrimination for access to health care. • Cause economic devastation through increased medical debt. • Cause higher health care costs for the District, Employees, and the Community because of postponed health care. • Have a negative impact on student achievement due to increased absenteeism.

32. A Health Insurance Resolution Requires: • Collaboration – Not Impasse or Unilateral Decisions • Continue this Hearing and reopen Bargaining • Invest in your employees by granting greater flexibility in Plan Design and Funding to your Bargaining Team • OR • Impose PEA’s recommendation based upon • Better than expected Fund Balance • Devastating harm to employees and the community of the District’s proposal • Concern about increasing employee turnover

33. Superintendent’s Insurance Committee • Works well when collaboration exists • PEA President appoints most effective representatives • Retain Current Contract Language
