$883/month for HDHP premium plus a $400/month contribution to my HSA. Add in dental, vision, voluntary life, and DCFSA and I'm just under $1800/month.
I’ve been in 3 different districts, the most I’ve seen a family plan cost is $1,300. The least, $950. Believe it. But don’t worry, IF we get a yearly raise, which is rare, it’s immediately wiped out by the annual increase in insurance.
This is Iowa City's.
Lol. I use it to pay our deductible which we easily meet every year solely for health insurance related costs. Absolutely close enough.
Laundry? Cleaning water bottles? You really reached deep on this response lol
What do you do for a living and how much do you get paid? I'd like to critique whether you earn your salary.
One of my gigs is literally coaching a high school sport lol just finished my 14th year as a w2 employee of one of the biggest public school districts in MO.
Coaches at small Iowa schools like @Bulldogs1974 wash team uniforms. It might not be the most difficult part of the job, but it is time consuming and certainly should be included in the amount of time fulfilling his duties as a coach.
Yes it was...Culver made “across the board” budget cuts to balance the state’s budget once, as required by state law. His position was quite simple...”across the board cuts” were more fair, than him going into the budget and choosing “winners and losers” to balance the budget...and Northern, teacher salaries were not affected one iota. If you are going to tell the story, tell the whole story. Branstad several times had to do the same thing when facing budget shortfalls, except he always chose to go into the budget and “line item” his specific cuts....both methods are completely legal as they both accomplish what Iowa’s Constitution requires...”balancing” the state’s budget.
They should try delegating. I'm not saying this as if to day coaching is an easy gig. I was mostly giggling at the end items on that original list.
Delegate to who, school policy might be against students washing uniforms to prevent loss or damage. Small schools work with a tight budget and uniforms aren't cheap.
Do school districts pay none, some, most of health insurance? How widely does it vary in Iowa?(out of state please refrain from responding, too much information)
No shit.
No it isn’t...not unless you want those Red uniforms to turn pink halfway thru the season....
We certainly don't wash uniforms after every game in my district, but we do get them professionally cleaned at the end of the year because most kids/parents are too irresponsible to properly maintain them during the season.
I taught at a PK-12 school for 34 years, was the teacher association president for a time, and the head negotiator for my last 5 years. What is your experience with teaching or education?
They are probably banking that you are 1/3 or 1/2 to IPERS, and in too deep to shift gears.
Damn, that’s not cool. I always thought you you had gold plated health care, but maybe I am misremembering my MIL’s sitch 20 years ago and also, I think my FIL was on his own plan through work.
