FY 05 Comparable Towns Data as of March 30, 2005

Our contractual salary standard is for Lexington to rank 6 or better (5, 4, 3, 2, or 1) in total compensation (salary + insurance added value + longevity at 30 years) at 6 points on our salary schedules when compared to 10 other districts.


NOTE # 2: The $4,405 Lexington health insurance benefit is the town's share of the HMO Blue family premiums ($10,357) over and above the 50% statutory requirement of total cost ($11,904). That added value is then used as the standard when comparing the percentage paid by the other districts for their most-subscribed family HMO plan.

In the charts below, Lexington's rank is in blue if it meets the contractual standard and in red if it does not meet the contractual standard.
