OSPI Provided Resources

From Superintendent Reykdal:

“Following communication with our legal counsel, the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC), and the State Auditor’s Office, please consider the following as formal guidance from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) as you proceed with your work to implement provisions of EHB 2242 (2017) and E2SSB 6362 (2018), the ‘McCleary bills.'”

“Your practical limitation on collective bargaining is your ability to fund compensation increases in the short-term AND your ability to sustain those increases. Not every district will have an equal opportunity to provide compensation increases with double-digit percentages.”

• OSPI provided tools to assess school districts’ risk factors for compensation sustainability. Four factors were identified. Camas School District has all four factors (fewer than 10% of the 295 districts, had all four factors). Camas was also identified as the highest teacher average salary for Clark County in 2017-18.
