Response:
| Clarification: I’d like to know what the district will be spending in total (salaries & expenses) on the instructional equity effort headed by Dr. Patrice Payne. Is she working solo or will she have a staff? I want to know TOTAL anticipated costs of this effort. At their May 13| 2021 Committee of the Whole Meeting| the Board of Education approved a contract with Dr. Payne as follows http://go. boarddocs.com/il/hinsdale86/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=C2GNKG604E69 For the 2021-2022 school year| Dr. Payne will have no budget or staff assigned to her. Dr. Payne’s contract – a standard D86 administrator contract – addresses benefits and benefits costs as follows: 1. Insurance. During the term of this Contract| the Board will provide the Administrator with the following benefits: a. A Section 125 Flexible Benefits Plan in which the Administrator may participate and elect to apply the Board contribution established for either the single insurance coverage rate $14|257.19| or the family insurance coverage rate $20|367.42| toward the premiums for single or family coverage under a District health coverage plan| including any dental coverage elected. To the extent the Board contribution exceeds the cost of the premiums or the health and dental coverage(s) elected| the Administrator will be paid the excess in cash| distributed over 24 pays in the Benefit Plan Year. Participation of the Administrator is subject to eligibility terms contained in the Section 125 Flexible Benefits Plan and underlying insurance and benefit plans| and to election procedures and timelines; and b. Group term life insurance| subject to requirements of the insurance carrier| in the amount provided to other licensed administrators in the District. If the provision of health insurance contemplated by this Contract provision could result in the Board being obligated to pay a penalty| excise tax| or other fee due to changes and/or interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code or other laws| or their related rules and regulations| affecting the provision of insurance benefits| the Board may convert its contribution toward such insurance benefit to another form of compensation or combination of compensation and insurance to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of such penalty| excise tax| or fee. In the event the Board makes such a determination| the Board shall collaborate with TRS to avoid the loss of creditable earnings to the extent permitted by law and to the extent a penalty to the Board does not result. 2. Sick and Personal Leave| The Administrator shall be granted paid sick leave days| as defined in Section 24-6 of the School Code| and paid personal leave days in each Contract Year| in the number provided to licensed administrators in the District. Sick and personal leave shall be provided in the same manner and subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the licensed administrators. In no event| however| shall the number of annual sick days granted to the Administrator exceed those provided to teachers under the District’s Collective Bargaining Agreement. 3. Annuities and Deferred Compensation. From the annual salary stated in paragraph A.1 of this Contract| the Administrator may ( 1) annually defer compensation pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of an eligible state deferred compensation plan as described in Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code if adopted by the Board| or (2) authorize a salary reduction in order that the Board may purchase an annuity product for the Administrator as described in Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and in the District’s 403 (b) Plan provided that the Administrator… <b |
