NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS:
Coleridge Education Association (hereinafter, "Petitioner" or "Association") filed a wage petition on January 30, 2002, seeking resolution of an industrial dispute for the 2001-2002 contract year. The Association is a labor organization formed by teachers employed by Cedar County School District No. 14-0541, a/k/a Coleridge Community Schools (hereinafter, "Respondent" or "District") for the purpose of representation in matters of employment relations. The District is a political subdivision of the State of Nebraska and a Class III school district. The Respondent employed 23 staff members with an FTE of 22.2 for the 2001-2002 school year.
The Commission of Industrial Relations (hereinafter, "Commission") held a Trial on March 20, 2002. At trial, Respondent presented no evidence. Petitioner introduced exhibits 1-13, which were received into evidence without objection. Neither side called any witnesses. Base pay was the only term and condition of employment at issue.
BASE SALARY:
Based entirely on the Petitioner’s Exhibits received at trial, Table 1 sets forth the relevant information for determining the appropriate base salary. The midpoint of the total compensation $798,726 minus the cost of fringe benefits $144,901 equals $653,825, which, when divided by the new total staff index factor of 29.4038, equals a base salary of $22,236 for the 2001-2002 school year.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
All panel judges join in the entry of this order.
Entered April 30, 2002.
