HEALTH INSURANCE & WAGES:

• The teachers of NWEA took a wage freeze and took the $10/20 Rx card which saved the District 8.2% in health care premiums.


• The salaries for NW teachers on the BA base, BA max, MA base, have dropped to 14th out of 15 in the county.


• An analysis of the district's Financial Information Database (FID) reports shows that insurance expenses for instructional personnel have not increased over the past FIVE years (taken from MDE FID database: http//cepi.state.mi.us/FidFormb/)
