Introduction and Methodology Chapter I Granbury Independent School District (GISD) engaged the HR Services Division of the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) to conduct a comprehensive review of its employee compensation plan. The HR Services Division has been providing compensation consulting and support services to Texas schools for over 30 years. This report presents a summary of the findings and recommendations from this project with supporting data. Purpose of Study This study was conducted to objectively examine the competitive job market and determine whether pay practices are internally fair and externally competitive. The primary goals for the project included the following: evaluate competitive market prices for key benchmark jobs; design a rubric of expectations and incentives for teacher pay raises; determine whether employees are being paid within an appropriate market range; align district pay structures with the competitive job market; develop an affordable implementation plan with recommended pay adjustments; and review administrative guidelines for managing pay systems. All employee groups were included in this study, including: Teachers (and related instructional staff); Professional Support and Administration; Technology; Clerical/Paraprofessional; Auxiliary; and Extra duty pay Project Activities In consultation with the district, a work plan was developed to complete the study. HR Services consultants completed the following work tasks through the course of the review: Initial planning and data collection Consultants conferred with district administrators to ensure a clear understanding of the concerns, problems, and objectives for the study. Pay data was collected on personnel employed at the start of the project. Assess competitive pay levels for common jobs and stipends for extra duties The competitive job market group was approved by the district. Market data on competitive pay practices was compiled and compared to district pay practices. Consultants analyzed the data to determine where the district is at risk and identified priorities for pay system improvements. 1

Build or align pay range structures and job placements Benchmark jobs were identified in each employee group and used as the basis for market pricing and setting pay ranges. Pay ranges were aligned for each employee pay group to provide competitive pay ranges and internal pay system controls. Job placements were reviewed to ensure internal and external pay equity. Design implementation plan with recommended pay adjustments Pay data for current employees was applied to the new models to assess the cost and impact of implementing the proposed pay changes. No employee s pay should be reduced as a result of the pay study. The implementation plan was designed to achieve the following: o o o provide a general pay increase to all employees who are within the pay range; bring all employees up to the recommended minimum pay rates for their position; add targeted adjustments to improve market pay inequities; and Review a draft of findings and recommendations and deliver a final report Consultants met with administrators to review the initial draft of findings and recommendations before preparing the final report. Data Sources Data sources for this project were obtained from: District employee records; Peer districts; TASB annual surveys of salaries and wages in Texas schools; Third party salary surveys for the geographic area; and Review meetings with district administrators. 2

Market Comparisons The following districts were used as the comparison districts to assess the competitive job market. Comparison districts were selected on the basis of enrollment and location. School district data was obtained from the most recent available surveys conducted by TASB HR Services. Non school market data was incorporated for positions with similar jobs outside of K 12 education. Statewide market data on districts of comparable size was used for high level central administrator jobs. Exhibit 1 Comparison Districts District Enrollment Teachers Other Groups Extracurricular Granbury ISD 6,829 1. Aledo ISD 4,874 2. Burleson ISD 10,920 3. Cleburne ISD 6,604 4. Crowley ISD 15,022 5.

Weatherford ISD 7,734 1 Fort Worth, Keller, and Mansfield were excluded from salary comparisons due to disparities in enrollment size. 2 Joshua ISD did not provide data on extracurricular stipends. 3

Understanding Pay Systems Chapter II Objectives of Pay Systems All organizations have common management needs and employee expectations that must be translated into pay practices. An effective pay system should address both the needs of the organization and the expectations of its employees. Management Needs to: recruit and hire qualified employees, prevent the loss of good employees, and control spending by paying the proper amount for job value. Employees expect to receive: fair pay for their job responsibilities, fair pay compared to what other employers pay for the same work, and annual pay increases for continued service. Basic Pay System Elements Job Families A job family includes jobs that share common characteristics and are grouped into a common pay structure. These characteristics include the type of work performed, the competitive job market, potential career paths for employees, and state and federal laws regulating wages and salaries. Separate pay range structures are typically built for each job family. Pay Grades Compensable job factors such as skill, effort, and responsibility serve as the basis for assigning jobs to different pay levels to achieve internal pay equity among employees. The greater the degree of skill, effort, and responsibility required by a job, the higher the level of pay. Jobs that have similar value and are grouped into the same range of pay are assigned or classified to pay grades. 4

Job Pricing While objective job evaluation and classification contributes to internal pay equity, job pricing contributes to external pay equity. Job pricing uses data collected from salary and wage surveys of other employers to determine the external market value of benchmark jobs. This data is used to set pay ranges that are competitive with the external job market. Because jobs have been analyzed and classified into groups of similar value, job pricing does not require a survey match for each unique job. Job Market Job markets may be different for different employee groups. By definition, a job market represents the employers that a district typically competes with to attract and retain employees. Professional employees may be recruited from a larger geographic area than paraprofessional or auxiliary employees. School districts may be the only competitors for instructional positions while other types of businesses may be competitors for business or technology jobs. For this reason, different job markets and surveysourcesmaybeusedtoaccurately assess the district's true competitive job market. Pay Structure The pay structure itself is the key management tool that provides control over the district's competitive position in the marketplace and internal pay equity among all employees. Designing the pay structure involves setting the proper control points (midpoint, minimum, and maximum rates of pay) for each pay grade and ensuring that appropriate pay differentials between pay grade levels are established. Issues that must be weighed and balanced in the design of pay structures include: positioning the district competitively, impact on current pay practices, adequate pay differentials for higher levels of job responsibility, internal consistency and rationality, and controlled variance within each pay range. 5

Background and Context Chapter III Background District Profile 892 Employees 6,829 Students 6 Elementary Schools 1 Intermediate School 2 Middle Schools 1 Non traditional High School 1 High School Granbury ISD is located in Hood County. TASB has been working with GISD since 1995 to build and maintain a market competitive pay system. The last pay system review conducted by TASB was in 2008 and pay ranges have not been adjusted since. Pay raise budgets have declined since 2011 leading to concerns about competitive pay. This year employees received a two percent average raise with only one percent in the preceding year. Pay raises have lagged behind market peers who have given average pay raises of three percent during the same period. The district has maintained good control over the placement and internal pay equity for district employees. Pay Characteristics Teachers Current Pay System: The current teacher pay plan is a salary step schedule that spans 33 years of service. Step increments have been used to determine teacher pay raises. Step increments are unequal and range from a low of $223 to a high of $940 in a random manner. Years of Experience: The median experience level of GISD teachers is 11 years which matches the state average for teacher experience. Teachers are well distributed across all experience levels. The district has been successful in attracting experienced teachers. Nearly 80 percent of the 57 new teachers hired during the 2013 14 school year had more than five years of experience. About five percent of teachers are currently eligible to retire under the TRS system. 6

Pay Characteristics Other Employees Current Pay System: The District maintains four market based pay range structures for other employees. Separate pay structures are maintained for professional support and administrative positions; technology positions; clerical and paraprofessional positions; and auxiliary positions. A schedule of stipends and extra duty days lists pay rates for extra duty assignments. Experience: Professional and administrative staff have an average of 18 years of service with 7 years in GISD. Paraprofessional /clerical and auxiliary staff have an average of 7 years in GISD. The district has good employee retention rates. 8

Market Summary Chapter IV Teachers Granbury ISD is paying below market value for teachers at all levels of experience. Starting pay for teachers ranks 7 th among the nine comparison districts although GISD also pays a signing bonus of $2,000.

Exempt Positions Administrative pay is generally competitive in GISD. Across all 26 surveyed administrative positions, GISD is paying 102 percent of market. Twenty jobs are within a ten percent variance of market pay. Administrative salary comparisons typically show more variance because there are more single incumbent jobs with a broader range of experience levels.

Extra Duty Stipends GISD pays for extracurricular duties using a stipend schedule and, for some athletic and fine arts duties, extra duty day at the employee s teacher daily rate. For market comparison purposes, the total value of stipends plus any extra days paid were added to represent the total compensation value. Pay for athletics is 101 percent of market overall with a great deal of variance by assignment. Where extra duty days are paid, GISD tends to be over market because the District pays more days than peer districts. Only five of ten peer districts pay extra duty days and most of those are for varsity football and volleyball.

Fine arts and academics duty pay is 120 percent of market overall which equates to an average of $585 above market rates. The large variations are again caused by the practice of paying more extra duty days for more assignments than peer districts.

Recommendations Chapter V Following are a priority listing of recommendations for the GISD compensation plan. Recommendations Recommendation 1 Increase teacher pay and stipends to more competitive levels. Increase the starting salary from $44,000 to $46,000 and adjust again in 2016 17. For 2015 16, give all teachers a general pay increase of $1600 (average 3%) and add a little more to alleviate compression in years 1 to 5. Increase the stipend for secondary math and science teachers from $2,000 to $2,500 for an estimated cost of $15,500 for 31 positions. Recommendation 2 Institute incentives to give the district early notice of plans to resign or retire and to prevent excessive absences during the last year of employment. GISD offered to reimburse local leave upon retirement during 2011 12 and 2012 13 and then discontinued the incentive. The District currently has a large number of teachers who are eligible to retire. Retiring teachers tend to use up their leave balances during their last year if there is no incentive not to use the leave. Our suggestion for an incentive is to pay any retiring employee for up to 30 days of unused leave at a rate of $50 per day if notice of intent to retire is provide to the District by March 1 st. That would pay out a maximum incentive of $1,500. The average annual number of retirees over the past three years in GISD has been 19 teachers and 47 total staff. Based on that history, the potential cost can be estimated at $70,500 if offered to all retiring employees or $28,500 if offered only to retiring teachers. The best teacher candidates are offered contracts first so early recruiting gives the district an edge in hiring the best. Our suggestion for an early notice incentive is to offer $500 for any teacher or professional support employee who gives the district an end of year resignation letter before March 1st. Recommendation 3 Consider a new policy that would offer teachers the opportunity to earn a merit based salary increase beginning in 2016 17. Teacher pay increases are given to reward service and effort. Teachers who put forth 16

more effort should earn greater rewards than those who do not. A policy of equal pay increases for all does not recognize those teachers who put forth greater effort and commitment to the job. Our suggested method is to provide a small cost of living increase to all teachers (e.g., 2%) with an additional 1 or 2% provided to those teachers who meet specified criteria the District deems valuable to students. Examples of eligibility criteria to consider for the earned merit portion of the pay raise include: o o o o o o o o In attendance 90% of the school year Completing professional development credits approved by the District Teaching a course that can award college credit Earning a highly effective performance rating Serving on approved campus or district committees Conducting professional development for other teachers Coaching an academic student group to a regional or state level Demonstrating student growth on state achievement tests Recommendation 4 Adjust pay range structures for other employee groups to improve market alignment and ensure job placement for internal and external pay equity. Adjust the existing pay ranges for the Administrative and Professional Support Group and upgrade placement of the Technology Network Administrator, Director Athletics, and High School Principal. Simplify the pay system by incorporating the few nonexempt technology jobs into the former Paraprofessional pay structure and renaming it Paraprofessional/Technical. Upgrade the Deaf Education Interpreter position. Adjust the existing pay ranges for the Auxiliary jobs and upgrade placement of the mechanic. A general pay increase of three percent of the range midpoint is modelled for all groups with an additional adjustment for one employee to reach.05% of the minimum of the pay range. Recommendation 5 Improve control and transparency of pay for extracurricular duties by adopting a single rate stipend schedule and eliminate the practice of paying stipends and extra duty days. 17

The value of days paid is added to the stipend to reflect total compensation. No employee s pay should be reduced as a result of this change. The recommended stipend schedule adjusts stipends that were below average up to market rates (91). Pay the head football coach, band director, and athletic trainers on a salary basis for competitive value. Simplify stipend administration by delegating control to campus principals for small stipend amounts ($400 or less) paid for UIL academic meet sponsors. 18

Estimated Cost of Recommendations Chapter VI These estimates are based on employee pay data collected at the beginning of the pay study and are reflective of a snapshot in time.
