Board resolves to continue paying TRS surcharge for current employees, not future hires
Summary
Trustees adopted a resolution addressing the Teacher Retirement System surcharge, resolving to continue paying the surcharge for current employees while employed by the District, but not to pay it for future hires. The resolution cites Texas Government Code §825.4092 and related legislative changes and passed by majority vote.
The Board adopted a resolution addressing the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) surcharge required by Texas Government Code §825.4092(b). The resolution states that Tuloso-Midway ISD will continue to pay the surcharge for current employees who are subject to it while they remain employed by the District; moving forward the District will not pay the surcharge for future employees.
The minutes reference the statutory background including Senate Bill 202 and House Bill 2 (89th Legislature) and note procedural posting requirements: a copy of the resolution will be placed in the minutes and posted on the District website within seven days. The resolution text states the source of funds for the surcharge payment would be based on the Allotment for Basic Costs provided in HB 2 of the 89th Legislature; the minutes do not list exact dollar amounts or which employees are affected.
Board members recorded a roll-call vote on the resolution. The action is intended to address a material cost shift enacted by recent legislation while protecting current employees from an immediate change in cost responsibility.
