ADMINISTRATIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PLAN

I. AUTHORITY

This Compensation and Benefits Plan is adopted by the Board of School Directors of the

compensation plan as mandated by PA Act 93 of 1984 for the school years 2017-2020. This

plan also incorporates the compensation and benefits plan for all administrators and confidential

secretaries for the school years, 2017-2020. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the school board, at

its discretion may provide the business manager with the benefits afforded to administrators

covered under this plan.

The Steelton-Highspire Administrative Compensation and Benefits Plan is an appraisal and

reward system which acknowledges administrative responsibility for planning, organizing,

and the work of a position to the organization. It provides for these basic principles:

1. Sound management produces results

2. Performance appraisal facilitates growth

3. Accountability is essential

service to the district as a result of retirement.

F. Medical Coverage

1. Health Insurance (including vision and dental) – Effective July 1, 2017,

employees will have general health care coverage commensurate with SHEA

employees; however, health coverage will only be provided for full time

employees.

When both spouses are employees for the District, such employees may elect individual

single coverage, or when both spouses are employees of the District, one spouse may

elect family coverage which would treat the other spouse as a dependent, and, in the

event of such election, would preclude the “dependent spouse” from electing their own

single coverage. In the event the spouse of a District employee is provided health

insurance through their employer, and the spouse’s employer is not SHSD, said spouse is

not eligible for inclusion in the SHSD provided health insurance plan.

District employees constrained by the spousal limitation, as described herein, must be

given the opportunity to include their spouse in the event the spouse experiences a

complete loss of health insurance, a significant deterioration of plan benefits, or the

premium share paid by the employee’s spouse to their employer changes. Any of these

events would immediately trigger action by the District to include the spouse in the

employee’s health insurance plan.

Employees will be permitted to switch medical insurance plans once per year upon thirty

(30) days advance notice. Coverage is subject to the policies, procedures and operating

guidelines of the carrier.

During the term of this Plan, employees shall also have the option of electing to waive

medical insurance coverage provided hereunder. If the employee elects to waive medical

insurance coverage provided hereunder, he/she shall be paid a sum of two thousand

dollars ($2000) each year or fraction thereof when the employee has no medical

insurance coverage. Payment shall be made in a lump sum payable on or before the first

pay in December of each year. This provision is intended to be in accordance with the

provisions of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees have the opportunity

to reenter either of the medical plans once per year. However, the employee must notify

Page 8: STEELTON-HIGHSPIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE ... · 6 grandparent, great grandparent-in-law, brother-in law, sister-in-law, grandfather- in-law or grandmother in law. An additional

8

the District on or before June 1st

of the current year to be eligible for coverage for the

year beginning July 1st. However, employees shall be permitted to revoke such waiver as

of the first day of the month next following a lifestyle change or cessation of alternate coverage. A lifestyle change shall be defined as marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, death of a spouse or qualifying dependent, or starting or ending of a spouse’s

employment. Employees will be required to provide a written statement demonstrating they have been dropped from alternate coverage. Employees reentering a medical insurance program provided hereunder will receive a pro-rated portion of the amount

listed above for the period of time the employee was not covered under any District provided medical insurance plan.

2. Retirement Benefit – Upon retirement as defined in the Public School Employee

Retirement Code, if an employee has been with the district at least 15 years, the employee shall have the right to continue all health insurance benefits with the District at employee expense until they reach the age of Medicare Eligibility. By

May 31st

of each school year the retiree must inform the District, in writing, of their

current address and their desire to remain on the District’s insurance program. Failure

to provide such information or make a timely payment shall result in retiree’s

termination of benefits.

G. Life Insurance

The Board shall pay the entire cost of a life insurance policy for all Employees. The

amount of the policy shall be equal to the employee’s salary. Additional can be obtained

at employee cost.

H. Tuition Reimbursement –Administrative Employees Only

1. Amount Of Reimbursement

Employees enrolled in a Bachelors program will be reimbursed at $600 per credit hour.

Employees enrolled in a Masters will be reimbursed for tuition paid at a maximum of

$800 per credit hour. Employees enrolled in a Doctorate program will be reimbursed for

tuition paid at a maximum of $1000 per credit hour. The reimbursement will be for only

allowable tuition costs (i.e. no fees) of courses that were successfully completed.

Successful completion is defined as obtaining a grade of “B”, “Pass” for Pass/Fail

courses, or evidence of substantial progress in the doctoral dissertation process.

2. Maximum Credit Reimbursement Per Year

An Employee will be reimbursed for no more than twelve (12) credit hours per school

year. A school year is defined as the period from July 1 through June 30. The date

posted as the completion date for the course will determine in which school year the

An Employee who has obtained a Master’s degree plus thirty (30) credits and is not

enrolled in an approved doctorate program, or an Act 93 Employee who has received

his/her doctoral degree, will be permitted to take six (6) graduate credits per school year

in his/her area of specialization. For credits outside of an area of specialization, an Act

93 Employee must obtain prior written approval from the Superintendent to be eligible

for tuition reimbursement.

An Employee who is on an approved education sabbatical will be permitted to take

eighteen (18) graduate credits per school year.

3. Course Approval

Courses for which an Act 93 Employee will seek tuition reimbursement must be pre-

approved by the Superintendent at least two weeks prior to the start date of the course.

Tuition reimbursement will only be provided for courses directly related to the Act 93

Employee’s specialization taken at an accredited college or university, including on-line

courses if they are a part of the degree program. Tuition reimbursement will not be

provided for repeated courses.

4. Tuition Reimbursement While On Leave

No tuition reimbursement will be provided to an Employee while the Employee is on

sabbatical leave for health reasons, child rearing leave, or otherwise on paid or unpaid

leave for health reasons.

5. Repayment of Tuition Reimbursement When Leaving District Employment

repay any tuition reimbursement received from the District for courses taken as follows:

Resignation within 12 months of completion of the course - 100%;

Resignation within 24 months of completion of the course - 75%;

Resignation within 36 months of completion of the course - 50%;

Resignation within 48 months of completion of the course – 25%

Pay back of monies owed the District shall be made prior to the employees final

paycheck being issued. This pay back provision shall not apply in situations of bona fide

normal, superannuated or window retirements under PSERS. Act 93 Employees leaving

the employment as a result of termination by the District are excluded from this

requirement.

III. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES District Employees may not be employed by another school district or collegiate institution or

serve their students as an athletic coach or extra-curricular advisor. IV. JOB DESCRIPTIONS

Job descriptions are written statements of the job content for each administrative position in the

school district. Job descriptions are not static; they are always subject to review and/or revision.

A job review may be initiated by any Employee in the district. The review may be requested

because of additions to, deletions from, or alterations of currently listed responsibilities. The

annual meeting with the supervisor to discuss performance objectives provides an opportune

time to review a job description.

V. PERFORMANCE REVIEWS AND RATINGS A. Establishing Performance Objectives

Performance Objectives are developed on an individual basis in cooperation with a

supervisor. They may recognize an individual need, the needs of a building or service

area, or school district initiatives as they contribute to the Comprehensive Plan. Each

Performance Objective must be recorded and approved by the supervisor.

B. Performance Review

It is extremely important for each individual to have a sense of his/her own performance

and contribution to the organization. This can only be accomplished through regular

communications with a supervisor, in order to assess performance on Performance

Objectives and record progress toward meeting those objectives.

A written notification of performance level will be provided to each individual following

the formal annual review. It should be understood that while formal evaluations occur

periodically, performance evaluation itself requires a continuing relationship on a day-to-

day basis between supervisors and the people who report to them.

C. Educational Certificated Administrator Performance Review

Educational Administrators will be evaluated utilizing the PDE required Effectiveness

Evaluation Tool. In the event that PDE discontinues or delays this for any Educational

Certificated Administrator, item D below will apply. Goals will be established in

Page 11: STEELTON-HIGHSPIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE ... · 6 grandparent, great grandparent-in-law, brother-in law, sister-in-law, grandfather- in-law or grandmother in law. An additional

11

conjunction with the employee’s supervisor at the beginning of the year, and progress

reviewed at mid and end of year formal conferences.

Extenuating Circumstances – There are extenuating circumstances that may develop

which alter the annual rating and/or salary adjustment. If there is a change of a position

during the school year, the annual rating will be determined by prorating the evaluations

of the two positions. It would be usual in such cases to expect significant changes in the

Performance Objectives.

If an unsatisfactory rating is received, the salary adjustment may be withheld.

D. Other Administrator’s Annual Performance Ratings

Goals will be established in conjunction with the employee’s supervisor at the beginning

of the year, and progress reviewed and mid and end of year formal conferences.

1. Performance Ratings – The performance ratings of the Steelton-Highspire School District

defined as follows:

o Distinguished: Excels in meeting all indicators and goes beyond expectations

o Proficient: Meets all indicators on a regular basis

o Basic: Meets most of the indicators most of the time

o Unsatisfactory: Meets few or none of the indicators

2. The performance rating is determined by a value representing the average rating on the

Administration Performance Appraisal. (see Appendix A)

3. Extenuating Circumstances – There are extenuating circumstances that may develop

which alter the annual rating and/or salary adjustment. If there is a change of a position

during the school year, the annual rating will be determined by prorating the evaluations

of the two positions. It would be usual in such cases to expect significant changes in the

Performance Objectives.

If an unsatisfactory rating is received, the salary adjustment may be withheld.

E. Confidential Secretary’s Annual Performance Ratings

The Steelton-Highspire School District shall use, for the purpose of rating, the Confidential

Secretary Performance Evaluation Form (See Appendix B).

Confidentiality is an imperative. Confidentiality is defined as the treatment of information that a

parent, student or administrator has disclosed in relationship to trust and with the expectation that

it will not be divulged to others in ways that are unnecessary and unlawful. A breach of

confidentiality or disclosure of confidential information without the expressed permission of the

immediate supervisor will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

Extenuating Circumstances – There are extenuating circumstances that may develop which

alter the annual rating and/or salary adjustment. If there is a change of a position during the

school year, the annual rating will be determined by prorating the evaluations of the two

positions. It would be usual in such cases to expect significant changes in the Performance

Objectives.

If an unsatisfactory rating is received, the salary adjustment may be withheld. VI. SALARY STRUCTURE

All employees covered under this agreement are salaried, non-hourly, positions. Each

position in the district has been assigned a board approved dollar value. For future hired

employees, the dollar value is expressed as a board approved salary range. This salary

structure is subject to annual review and will be adjusted according to the Superintendent’s

recommendation and Board approval.

The appropriate salaries for each of the district’s Employees may be determined

based on the below criteria. Any employee must be in their current position for at

least 6 months prior to receiving a salary increase. The percentage of salary increase

for Employees will be established annually by the board.

Number of years in education or a profession with duties similar to the

district job description – 15 years would receive maximum salary range.

Proration of the minimum to maximum range would be used for under 15

years.

OR

Number of years of experience in a position – 15 years would receive

maximum salary range. Proration of the minimum to maximum range

would be used for under 15 years.
