Financial Impact
See attached budget sheet.
The cost of the HUSW step increase, previously budgeted, is $353,435.57. The cost for the increase to the Board’s contribution to employee health insurance premium is $442,579.20 annually.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
