Members of the CRAA will be allowed to convert up to five unused vacation days to a Tax Sheltered Annuity based on their years of service in Council Rock as an administrator, and their per diem rate of their pay.
“Our administrators came forward to offer a concession to make things better,” said Klein.
This will be the third time in the past four years that the CRAA has made an accommodation in their agreement to defer or change salary terms to help the district.
