Board approves 3.44% compensation package for non-bargaining staff

What happened

The board approved 3.44% compensation packages for non-bargaining licensed health and special-education staff, classified staff, retired teachers, and administrators. The presentation estimated costs of $85,255, just over $736,000, a little over $21,000, and a little over $140,000, respectively—about $982,000 total.

Why it matters to families

This is a substantial district compensation commitment affecting multiple employee groups. The approved package also moves eligible health, special-education, and classified employees onto newly developed salary schedules; employees already at or above the new rates are held harmless rather than receiving a pay cut.

The evidence

In the Sept. 14 board-meeting transcript, the presentation gives the group costs at 1:00:20–1:00:43, 1:01:32–1:02:30, 1:02:37–1:03:21, and 1:03:27–1:03:55. At 1:14:55–1:15:22, the board moves to approve all three salary motions and records six votes in favor.
