Superintendent corrects support-staff handbook pay-date language; nurse to notify families of immunization exclusion deadline
Summary
The superintendent said the recently board-approved support-staff handbook contained inaccurate payroll-date language and that the handbook was updated after attorney review; the district nurse will notify families before the Oct. 15 immunization exclusion date about opt-out procedures.
Superintendent Kelly Olginski told the board that the support-staff handbook required a post-approval correction because it included inaccurate payroll-date language lifted from another district. Administration worked with district counsel to correct the handbook link and language; the superintendent said payroll schedules themselves are unchanged but staff acknowledgements must reflect the corrected information.
Why it matters: Staff must accurately understand pay schedules and terms that appear in employee handbooks. The superintendent said the handbook language was corrected to link to the district's actual payroll schedule rather than the other district's dates.
Immunization notice: The superintendent also reminded the board that Oct. 15 is the exclusionary date for required immunizations; Nurse Janssen will contact families to explain that they must opt out if they are not compliant with immunization requirements. The superintendent emphasized the outreach is procedural and not intended as advocacy for or against immunizations.
Next steps: Administrators said staff will acknowledge receipt of the corrected handbook and Nurse Janssen will begin family notifications ahead of the exclusion date.
