Montiee Lessin Alexander GCU-BUS 470 Susan Wind Sunday January 21, 2024 Part 1- Cost of Failure to Address the Problem Vermilion Parish School System has a high turnover employment rate for teachers. My chart is illustrating first year teachers pay scales in the surrounding parishes. This is often the concern of educators across the parish. This chart proves that Vermilion Parish is the lowest paid parish in our area. This is based on Bachler, Masters, and Master Plus experience. If the parish wants to stop high employee turnover rates it must come up with a solution and a plan to either gain teachers or keep the current ones, they already must stay longer than they have been. These pay scales are also based off certified teachers already. All these parishes require teachers to be certified by the State of Louisiana Education Department to have a permanent position. However, some parishes offer their teachers reimbursement if they go teach in their parishes. Iberia Parish offers their teachers this incentive plus the starting salary you see provided.

Vermilion Parish most recent attempt to fix the employment high turnover rate by getting taxpayers to pass a sales tax increase for teachers’ salaries by 1.22%. This gave each degree about an extra $500 pay increase. However, there is still a big difference in pay in the surrounding parishes. The superintendent’s first step was to obtain a tax increase since it has been about 14 years since the last sales tax that passed within the parish. By the passing of this tax, this was a great start for the parish to gain employees, however this solution still is not enough. The superintendent also has a budget plan to help with pay increases for the teachers, but this would affect all other departments within the organization. Personally, I do believe that there is a misuse of funding between departments, but that will not be a big enough increase in pay to get employees to stay within the parish.

Vermilion Parish could hire and keep all their teachers to reduce the employee high turnover rate. However, there is plenty of work that needs to be done according to my data and collection of analysis. We have already determined that other parishes are paying their teachers more pay. For Vermilion Parish it will take not only a $500 increase in pay due to a sales tax being passed, but adjustments in department budgets and employee incentives. In my findings by employees, Iberia parish pays or reimburses the teachers that are completing the Iteach program to become certified within the state. This would be a great opportunity for Vermilion Parish to keep their contract teachers in the parish. My husband worked as a contract teacher for 1 ½ years. He was working towards getting his certification, however paying for it became expensive. The total cost of the program was $4,399.00. If Vermilion Parish would offer to either pay or reimburse contract workers for this program, they would not lose as many employees each year. The turnover rate became high whenever the contract employees were not job secured, so they started leaving to go teach at other parishes or changed careers as my husband did. The superintendent has decided not to replace certain employees after retirement, allowing other workers in those specific departments to pick up those jobs’ responsibilities. While they have about 10-25 employees retire per year the salaries not being replaced would range from $250,000 to $625,000. These numbers are based on $25,000 per year salary. However, we know that some employee salaries are higher. This could be a great increase for teachers, the parish has about 800 teachers in a combination of 20 schools. The increase would reflect about $780 per person based off 25 retired employees at $25,000 per employee. If the board would vote to pay and reimburse employee teachers certification programs and increase their pay by $780, we would be closer to the other surrounding parishes and the employment turnover rate would not be so high. As employees retire each year the base amount would also rise each year, giving teachers a reason to stay in the parish.
