Kaukana Area School District and the Comensation section of the union contract. Just a few Highlights for your review:
1) The full year contract for a teacher is 188 days. This includes 176 teaching days and 12 in-service days. Page 9 Master Contract.
2) The district uses WEA for it’s health insurance provider. Cost over $23,000/yr.

5) The district provides long term disability through WEA paid 100% by employer.
6) The district provides long term care insuranc through WEA paid 100% by the employer. I just quoted my own LTC policy at age 36 at a cost of $4,100/yr.
7) Teachers are assigned 5 class periods/ day and if a teacher is assigned a six period they shall be paid one seventhe of their annual salary for this extra assignment .
8) Normal work week for teachers shall be 37.5 hours. Page 17 Master Contract.

Example hourly rate for 1st year Kaukauna teacher:
$37,100 (see pay grid) / 188 work days (based on contract) / 8 hour pay day from 7:30 to 5:00PM ( contract is 7:30 to 3:45) hourly rate for first year teacher is $24.66/hr.
$30,000 benefits ($23,000 health/$4,081 Pension/Dental/LTC/Life)/ 188 work days/ 8 hour pay=$20.80/hr.
Total 1st year pay package Kaukauna Teacher is $24.66 +$20.80=$41.63
Example hourly rate for a teacher with over 10 years experience:
$79,559 (see pay grid) / 188 work days (based on contract) / 8 hour pay day from 7:30 to 5:00PM ( contract is 7:30 to 3:45) hourly rate is $52.89/hr.
$35,000 benefits ($23,000 health/$8,751 Pension/Dental/LTC/Life)/ 188 work days/ 8 hour pay=$23.27/hr.
Total pay package Kaukauna Teacher is $52.89+$23.27=$76.16/hr.
If they worked a full year of 2040 hours this would amount to a total pay package of $155,366 at $76.16/hr.
