Concord-Carlisle committee approves $25,817 payout for seven administrators who worked during April vacation
Summary
The regional school committee approved a one-time $25,817 payment—equivalent to five days' per diem—to seven administrators who worked during April vacation; the amount will be charged to the regular salary account, committee members said.
The Concord Carlisle Regional School District School Committee voted to approve a one-time payment of $25,817 to seven administrators who worked during April vacation. The motion, presented by School Committee member Andrew, described the payment as "the equivalent of 5 days per diem for days worked during April vacation and what would have been paid time off for these individuals." The committee voted in favor.
The committee discussed where the payment would be charged; Treasurer/staff said the amount will be charged to the regular salary account for those positions and that the budget contains the line to cover it. Committee members speaking in support called the payment a meaningful gesture of appreciation for staff who returned from vacation to manage an urgent situation and noted the district had the budget capacity to make the payment.
No statutory authority or external grant was cited as the source of funds; committee members confirmed the payment will be processed from existing district salary lines. The motion passed on an affirmative voice vote.
The committee did not attach conditions to the payment and did not amend the district budget line at the meeting. Administrators were expected to receive the payment through regular payroll processes.
