Whitnall board approves 2025–26 compensation increases for teachers and support staff
Summary
The board approved a personnel committee recommendation to increase educator base pay and raise hourly rates for support staff; trustees discussed budget implications and staff moves into the district’s compensation model.
The Whitnall School District board approved recommended compensation increases for the 2025–26 school year that district personnel said will raise educator base pay and increase hourly wages for support staff.
Rachel, from personnel, summarized the personnel‑committee recommendation and said the proposal would also move a group of current teachers into the district’s previously approved compensation model. “There was 13, I want to say, that’ll shift in,” she said. Rachel also referred to a base salary increase for educators during her summary, saying, “Dollars 2,000 base salary for educators actually.”
Trustee Jason Craig made the motion to approve the recommended teacher and staff compensation increases; Trustee Jesse seconded. Board members discussed budget assumptions and potential impacts on the fund balance if projected revenues fall short. A trustee asked whether the board could defer parts of the increase if state aid or other revenue did not meet conservative projections; staff said they would likely have to use fund balance or reassign expenditures from other funds to cover the shortfall.
After discussion the board voted to approve the recommendation. The public transcript does not include a roll‑call tally for the compensation vote.
