Because the School Board followed bad legal advice, they now will pay $1 million this year to teachers whose pay was retroactively seized in 2011 when the Board unilaterally violated the existing contract with the Sumner County Education Association. The contract called for the Board to pay 85% of health insurance benefits for that year, but the Board decided to fund a budget that only paid 80% without negotiating the proposal. Teachers had pay taken from their checks starting in February of 2011 to "make-up" for the difference. Now, that violation is costing the Board at a time when it is seeking at least $7.6 million in additional funds from the County Commission.
