Board approves FY27 pay increases, keeps district‑paid health premiums
Summary
The South Sanpete District board approved the FY27 employee compensation package that holds district‑paid premiums and applies a 4% district increase to the base salary schedule; PEHP premiums are projected to rise about 6.62%.
The South Sanpete District board voted May 13 to adopt its fiscal‑year 2027 employee compensation package, approving a 4% district increase to the base salary schedule and continuing to cover 100% of eligible employees’ health‑insurance premiums.
Jake (district finance presenter, speaker S3) told the board that ‘‘our premiums will increase 6.62%’’ as the district moves into its first full year on PEHP, a change that he said adds roughly $264,000 to next year’s premium costs. He also summarized the legislative and district components of pay increases: the state’s legislative adjustment provided a 3% increase on the salary schedule and the district will add a 4% base increase.
The presentation outlined other components of the compensation package: steps and lanes funding (estimated step costs $394,000 and lanes $38,000), continued HSA/HRA deposits (a $1,000 deposit in September and another in January for eligible employees), and an incentive for employees who waive district coverage ($3,000). Jake said the district will print and distribute contracts for signature, with principals asked to return signed contracts before graduation.
Board members asked for clarification about the cost drivers and employee feedback. After discussion, a board motion to accept the proposed FY27 compensation package was seconded and approved by voice vote.
