Committee approves cost-of-living and salary increases for nonunion staff, effective July 1, 2025
Summary
The Finance subcommittee recommended and the full committee approved cost-of-living and salary increases for nonunion personnel, effective July 1, 2025; committee member Mr. Hockman recused from the vote.
Peabody — The School Committee voted Tuesday to approve cost-of-living and salary increases for nonunion district personnel, effective July 1, 2025, following a recommendation from the Finance subcommittee.
Finance chair Mr. Olympio moved the motion to provide COLA and salary increases to nonunion staff, which Mr. Amico seconded. Mr. Hockman announced for the record that he would recuse himself from the discussion and left the meeting before the vote. The committee then took a roll-call vote; committee members recorded their approval and the motion passed.
Why it matters: Compensation changes affect district personnel budgets and payroll. Committee members asked that the effective date be corrected to July 1 (committee clarification during the meeting), and the vote was implemented with that date.
Details and next steps: Finance and human-resources staff will implement the increases effective July 1, 2025, and update payroll records accordingly. The committee did not detail the percentage increases in the public record of the meeting.
