MOTION, made by Snyder, seconded by Muti, that the following Resolution
be adopted:
RESOLVED, That the Ramsey Board of Education is a party to a Collective
Bargaining Agreement by and between the Ramsey Board of Education and the
Ramsey Teachers Association which expires on June 30, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the Board and the Ramsey Teachers Association are
currently engaged in Collective Bargaining negotiations with respect to a
Successor Agreement to the Collective Bargaining Agreement which expires
on June 30, 2011; and
WHEREAS, there is presently pending before the Commissioner of Education a
Petition filed by the Ramsey Board of Education which requests that certain
determinations be made by the Commissioner of Education with respect to
the validity of salary schedules which were set forth in the Memorandum
of Agreement and the Addendum to Memorandum of Agreement which
were executed by the Board and the Ramsey Teachers Association on or about
March 19, 2009, and which incorporated salary guides for school years 2007 –
2008, 2008 – 2009, 2009 – 2010 and 2010 – 2011; and
WHEREAS the issues raised in the Petition which is pending before the
Commissioner of Education will not be resolved on or before July 1, 2011; and
WHEREAS the Ramsey School District is currently faced with severe financial
and budgetary constraints resulting from the loss of state aid in an amount
exceeding $1,500,000.00 per year; and
WHEREAS certain costs for which the Board is obligated and which will be
incurred by the District on and after July 1, 2011, including health insurance
benefits under existing Collective Bargaining Agreements which are anticipated
to increase by not less than 15% during the 2011 – 2012 school year, and pending
the conclusion of negotiations for Successor Agreements effective for the 2011 –
2012 school year; and
WHEREAS the State of New Jersey has imposed a two (2%) percent cap on
property tax increases, thus limiting the amount of funding for public education
purposes which may be raised by the Ramsey School District; and
WHEREAS the cost of increments on the salary guide for teaching staff members
during the 2010 – 2011 school year is 2.72%, which amount is unsustainable

the Ramsey Board of Education has been compelled to budget a zero increase for
purposes of the cost of increments in the aggregate salaries for teaching staff
members for the 2011 – 2012 school year; and

Minutes of June 28, 2011
Fin. 6-19-R WHEREAS there would be a substantial hardship to the Board if it were required
(Cont’d) to make increment payments to teaching staff members for the 2011 – 2012
school year, particularly in the event that any successor Collective Bargaining
Agreement which may be reached ultimately reflects the Board’s budgeted zero
increase in the cost of increments in the aggregate salaries to teaching staff
members for school year 2011 – 2012, as well as in the event that a determination
is made by the Commissioner of Education that the salary schedule for teaching
staff members for school year 2010 – 2011 was ultra vires, null and void and of
no legal force and effect;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Ramsey Board of Education does hereby resolve, for
the reasons set forth above, that no increment payments shall be made to teaching
staff members for the 2011 – 2012 school year and, further, that notice thereof,
consisting of a certified copy of the within Resolution, shall be delivered
forthwith to the Ramsey Teachers Association.
