Health Insurance Premium Costs
Affordable Care Act Will Penalize Cadillac Plans
• Although most plans currently do not fall in this category, it is anticipated that with the rising
cost of healthcare, most plans will be in this category by the year 2018.
Affordable Care Act Requires Monitoring Hours Worked
• Some districts are reducing hours of aides and assistants to <30/week to avoid health
insurance costs or penalties.
THE FUTURE
With increasing PSERS costs and continually rising
medical benefit costs in the coming years the pressure
will likely continue to look at contracting services.

Testimonial
“While the economic decision to outsource 64 employees was difficult, CCRES made
the transition to contracted paraprofessionals trouble free and seamless. At the
forefront of our decision to award the contract to CCRES, was its ability to meet the
demands of our educational programs and service our diverse population of
learners. CCRES’s paraprofessionals work side by side in classrooms with our faculty
delivering a spectrum of services including one-on-one assistance, instructional
computer software help, cafeteria duties, and clerical responsibilities. When visiting
our educational facilities it is impossible to discern our employees from CCRES
employees.
22
Testimonial
Throughout the inaugural year, CCRES’s commitment to provide highly qualified, well
educated paraprofessionals each and every day has unquestionably set the stage for
a long-term successful partnership. Honestly, we couldn’t be more pleased with the
outcome. “

“ The Chester County Intermediate Unit, supported by ServiceMaster and Brickman Landscaping, this group
has completely transformed the outward and inward look of our schools and facilities. In a short summer, 5
weeks, with many projects such as security enhancements, from top to bottom scrubbing and cleaning of the
hallways and classrooms, a new high school gym floor and the beautification of our school campuses these
people gave it their best each and every day and look at the results, therefore I would like to publicly
acknowledge their work and thank them for their efforts. Our schools are in tip-top shape…”

“ We originally partnered with SM when we opened our new high school in 2006. We
were so pleased with their services we wanted to expand their presence in the school
district without adversely affecting our staff. We were able to accomplish this by adding
SM building by building as our staff diminished through attrition. SM is now in 5 of our
7 buildings and our plan is to expand their presence as we experience more attrition”

“With the heavy rain this morning, we had a great deal of water make its way into the
High School Band Room, Office and TV Studio. I want to thank the ServiceMaster folks
who stepped in and assisted with the clean-up today. Their quick response was greatly
appreciated!!”
