Summary
At its April 14 meeting the Dysart Governing Board approved a 3% retention stipend for eligible employees, a 2% salary increase for returning staff and revisions to student discipline procedures, and ratified a three‑year contract for Superintendent Dr. John Crodo.
The Dysart Governing Board took several formal actions at its April 14 meeting. Key outcomes:
