Teachers and administrators in the State of Michigan are required to be named and their wages listed in the Michigan Department of Education’s Registry of Educational Personnel (REP) database, so that was the information provided to the Independent in response to its Freedom of Information Act request for wages and benefits of employees for Keystone Charter Academy.
These teachers and administrators working at Keystone Academy are hired and paid by National Heritage Academies in Grand Rapids. Under the law, NHA is not required to give out any more information than what is in the REP listing.
NHA did not list the names or salaries of support personnel, such as paraprofessionals or recess aides, because they were not required to do so by law.
Keystone is a free, public school academy serving 784 students in grades K-8 and operating under a charter contract issued by an authorizing body – Bay Mills Community College.
Keystone Academy Board has entered into a services agreement with NHA, an educational service provider.
Through this services agreement, NHA is responsible to provide for the day-to-day operations and staffing at the school including the school’s leadership team and teachers.
Consequently, Keystone does not have any employees.
Also, the Independent’s FOIA requested a report of employee benefits. NHA, a private company, does not have to reveal individual benefits nor give any information on how much employees may or may not pay for benefits.
But, NHA did include a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Medical PPO Plan Benefits-at-a-Glance for Sept. 1, 2013-Aug. 31, 2014.
Among the benefits, annual deductibles in-network are $250 per member or $500 per family, $10 copay for general services, $75 for emergency room, and $100 for inpatient admission, among others.
