School Board Questions and Answers Tuesday, February 7, 2012 229. How many of our employees are LC residents? Number and percent. (Bergel/Feb 1, 2012)

230. One of the speakers said that not giving employees at the top of the scale a salary increase could be discriminating. How many people at the top of the scale are 40 or older? What is the gender of the people at the top of the scale? (Sheridan/Feb 2, 2012) Age 40 and older is the protected class for age discrimination. 100 percent of the employees at the top of the scale are 40 or older. 73 percent of the employees at the top of the scale are women. 231. What would be the total savings realized by implementing the co-pay rates utilized by Prince William County as per the information shared in question #136? (Turgeon/Feb 2, 2012)
Changing co-pays to those utilized by Prince William County generate FY13 savings of $1,268,000. Primary Care Physician - $306,000 ($15 to $20) Specialist - $345,000 ($30 to $35) Prescription - $617,000 ($5/$25/$45 to $10/$30/$60) At this time we would not recommend an increase to the $5 co-pay for dispensing lower cost generic drugs. During the 2008 plan year, the generic co-pay was reduced from $8 to $5. The immediate impact resulted in generic drug utilization increasing from 55% to 61%. The current generic utilization rate is now at 71%. We anticipate this to increase even further in the near future because of greater awareness of the potential savings to the patient and name brand medications, such as Lipitor, going generic.
232. What is the total amount paid in salaries, not including health benefits, VRS, etc.? I am looking for the amount used to calculate the cost for VRS and Group Life Insurance (as these are based on percentage of salary, if I am not mistaken.) (Turgeon/Feb 2, 2012) $508,430,605
Loudoun County Public Schools– FY 2013 Operating Budget
School Board Questions and Answers Tuesday, February 7, 2012 233. How many positions that were funded by grants are now in the operating budget? (Bergel/Feb 6, 2012) LCPS received two types of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding. They were State Stabilization funds and Title VIB funds. Both of these grants were for two fiscal years. State Stabilization funds were used for regular education teacher compensation. In FY 2010, 167 teacher positions were funded and in FY 2011, 64 positions were funded. All teacher positions were moved from the school operating fund to the grant and as the grant funding ended, they were moved back to the operating fund. The Title VIB ARRA funds were used to fund special education teachers and teacher assistants. In FY 2010 there were 44 teacher and teacher assistant positions funded by Title VI B ARRA and in FY 2011, an additional 40 positions were funded. Again, these 84 positions were moved from the school operating fund to the grant and returned to the operating fund when the grant ended. Therefore, a portion of the history of position increases shown on pages 98 and 152 of the FY 2013 Superintendent’s Proposed Operation Budget document include the transferring of existing positions from federally funded grants to locally funded operating budget and are not new positions.
