Deductions<br />

In accordance with state law, school employees contribute 7.05% of their gross earnings to the<br />

Teacher Retirement System(TRS), with 6.4% accruing to retirement benefits and .65% accruing<br />

to the TRS retiree’s group insurance program.<br />

Retirement Program<br />

For active members, Senate Bill 9 lowers the age at which they become eligible for retirement.<br />

Members with 30 years of service may retire with full benefits at age 50, effective September 1,<br />

1995. A new employee must wait 90 calendar days before they can become members of TRS. A<br />

new employee is a person who does not have an active account with TRS. An employee who<br />

was previously a TRS member and returns to work in any school is not a new employee. A<br />

person who has withdrawn an account, however, is a new employee for this purpose.<br />

Staff Organization<br />

The Superintendent of <strong>School</strong>s is elected by the <strong>School</strong> Board to be the chief administrator of the<br />

district’s educational program. The principals are approved by the Board upon the<br />

recommendation of the superintendent and are responsible for anything pertaining to his/her<br />

school. All other professional, paraprofessional, and educational support personnel are<br />

immediately responsible to the building principal for carrying out Board policies. It is most<br />

important that this chain of command and authority be followed in handling school-related<br />

affairs. Teachers are encourage and expected to discuss school related problems with their<br />

principals and the grievance policy for the district is expected to be followed.<br />

Information on grievance procedures may be obtained from the Superintendent, the Assistant<br />

Superintendent, campus Principals, Custodial Director, Food Service Director and the<br />

Transportation Director.<br />
