Board approves salary schedule, property disposal and personnel; minutes accepted

The Cabot School District board voted on several action items at its April 7 meeting, including acceptance of minutes and financial reports, approval of the 2025–26 salary schedules with two specified changes, authorization to recycle or dispose of obsolete technology inventory, and approval of personnel as presented after an executive session.

Minutes and financial reports: The board moved to accept the minutes and financial reports early in the meeting. The motion carried (no roll‑call tally recorded in the transcript).

2025–26 salary schedules: Board members approved the 2025–26 salary schedule. Staff described two changes before the vote: newly hired food‑service managers will be placed on a 179‑day contract going forward (existing managers remain on their current contracts), and selected pre‑K paraprofessional lead positions will be paid on the para‑2 column plus a $350 stipend to be paid in May. A motion and second were recorded and the motion carried (no roll‑call tally recorded in the transcript).

Resolution to recycle/dispose of district property (technology): The board approved a resolution authorizing the disposal or recycling of technology items identified by the technology department as beyond their useful life; the resolution also authorized removing the listed items from district inventory. A motion and second were recorded and the motion carried (no roll‑call tally recorded in the transcript).

Personnel approvals: After an executive session to consider employment and related personnel matters, the board reconvened and voted to approve personnel as presented. The transcript records a motion, a second and unanimous “aye,” but does not list individual personnel names or appointment details in the public portion; those details were not specified in the public record included in the transcript.
