The pension accumulation account is the account to which shall be credited all amounts paid for the purpose of producing reserves for the payment of pensions and other benefits payable from contributions made by the Orleans Parish school board. Contributions to and payable from the pension accumulation account shall be made as follows:
(1) On account of each participant there shall be paid annually to the credit of the pension accumulation account by the Orleans Parish school board, for the preceding fiscal year, a per centum of earnable compensation of each participant, not in excess of the per centum contributed by the Orleans Parish school board to any other retirement system or fund of which other employees are participants or members, which payment shall be divided into two parts, one part to be known as the normal contribution and the other part to be known as the accrued liability contribution. The rates per centum of such parts shall be fixed from time to time by the board of trustees, on the basis of the liabilities of the retirement system as shown by actuarial valuations.
(2) On the basis of regular interest and of such mortality and other tables as shall be adopted by the board of trustees, the actuary engaged to make the valuations required during the period over which the accrued liability is payable, immediately after making each valuation, shall determine the uniform and constant percentage of the earnable compensation of the average new entrant, which, if contributed on the basis of compensation of such new entrant throughout his entire period of active service would be sufficient to provide for the payment of the retirement allowance and other benefits payable on his account, which are not provided from his contributions to the annuity savings account. The rate per centum so determined shall be certified to the board by the actuary as his recommendation of the rate to be fixed by the board as the normal contribution rate. After the accrued liability has been extinguished, the normal contribution per centum rate of the earnable compensation of all participants shall be determined by the actuary on the basis of the mortality and service tables adopted by the board of trustees, plus regular interest. For the information of the board of trustees, the actuary shall make his recommendation as to the normal rate of contribution after each valuation.
(3) Immediately succeeding the first valuation, the actuary shall compute the total pension liability on account of all participants and beneficiaries which is not dischargeable by the aforesaid normal contribution made on account of such participants during the remainder of their active service. The rate per centum so determined shall be known as the accrued liability contribution rate.
