Board approves employee supplements, adds small classified supplement and 10% coach increase
Summary
The board approved a county-funded supplement pool totaling $1,318,000 for 2025-26, including the first district classified supplement (amount not specified) and a 10% increase to athletic coaching supplements; certified staff supplement timing confirmed.
The Wayne County Board of Education voted unanimously on July 7 to approve employee supplements for the 2025-26 school year, funded by a county appropriation of $1,318,000.
Board presenters said the county appropriation represented an increase tied to a 1% tax-rate change. The approved package includes the district's first classified staff supplement (amount not specified in the meeting), a 10% increase in athletic coaching supplements, and continuation of certified-staff supplements presented at the June board retreat.
Board staff said certified staff who receive supplements will see the usual monthly payments; an additional one-time payment recommended in the proposal will be processed in the December payroll to be available before the holiday period. The classified supplement was described as a small, initial payment aimed at lower-paid employees; no dollar figure for classified supplements was presented at the meeting.
Board members praised the change as a step toward supporting lower-paid employees and athletic staff. The motion to accept the employee supplement plan passed by unanimous hand vote after a second and brief comment period.
