The Board adopted several personnel and pay‑related policy changes for the 2025‑26 school year.

Extra‑duty and hourly pay: The board approved an extra‑duty pay schedule setting hourly rates for duties such as homebound instruction, tutoring and event supervision ($35/hour for certain duties; professional development under a full day is $30/hour). The schedule covers hourly payments for extra duties, supervision and professional development.

Comp‑time policy revision: The board adopted a revised comp‑time policy that limits comp‑time accrual to employees who work 240 days or more per year (year‑round staff); employees who work fewer than 240 days will be paid overtime rather than accruing comp time. Administration said the change reflects differences in calendaring for hourly employees and standard practice for year‑round staff.

Sick leave and retirement payouts: The board approved a sliding‑scale daily reimbursement rate for accumulated sick leave paid upon retirement based on notice given, with daily rates ranging up to $50 and as low as $25 depending on notice and employee category. The board also approved a $25 per day payout rate for unused sick leave days in excess of the maximum accumulation.

Why it matters: These actions set operational compensation parameters affecting hourly staff, mentors, event supervisors and retirees. Administration said the sliding payout scale has improved early retirement notification.

Formal actions: Board approved the extra‑duty pay schedule and the policy revisions by voice vote as presented.

Ending: Administration said it will continue to monitor accruals and payout practices and will present additional policy items later in the year as needed.
