Board approves 2.95% wage increases for multiple employee groups and new hourly scale
Summary
The personnel services committee recommended and the board approved a 2.95% wage increase for multiple employee groups effective July 1 and adopted a new hourly wage scale; the board also approved a 4% stipend for the Lincoln High School coffee shop supervisor and tabled the dual‑enrollment stipend pending funding details.
At its July 7 meeting the school board approved personnel committee recommendations including a 2.95% wage increase for a list of professional and support employee groups and adoption of a new hourly pay scale effective July 1.
Personnel director Brian Oswald outlined the proposed 2.95% increase covering groups that the motion listed (psychologists, athletic directors and assistants, aquatics director, food production coordinator, school nurses, computer techs, network/system managers, instructional software support, confidential secretaries, van drivers, custodial and maintenance staff, AV coordinator, office clerical and aide support staff, among others). The board also approved a new hourly wage scale effective July 1.
On co‑curricular pay, the committee recommended and the board approved a 4% stipend for the Lincoln High School coffee shop supervisor; the superintendent’s materials described the supervisor’s responsibilities (arriving 30–45 minutes early, overseeing supply ordering and supervising student workers). The committee tabled a proposed stipend for staff teaching mid‑state dual‑credit classes pending additional funding information.
The personnel consent items also included approvals of professional and support staff appointments and resignations; one support staff resignation was approved pending liquidated‑damages receipt as noted in committee materials.
Why it matters: wage and stipend decisions affect district personnel budgets and staffing morale; the dual‑enrollment stipend remains unresolved until funding sources are clarified.
Decisions: board approved personnel motions PS‑1 through PS‑7 (appointments, resignations, wage increases, stipend and hourly scale) by voice vote and roll call as recorded in the meeting.
Ending: staff will proceed with payroll implementation for the July 1 effective date and return with funding details for the tabled dual‑enrollment stipend when available.
