What happened

On September 21 the board approved a 3.75% merit pay increase for the superintendent and 3.00% for the assistant principal. The Director of Finance and HR who started in July resigned, and the board accepted that resignation on September 30 without liquidated damages.

Why it matters to families

Changes in the top administrators' pay and the business office matter for a small district's budget and day-to-day running.

The evidence

The September 21 and September 30 minutes record the votes and the resignation.
