Board approves META services contract, staff salary schedules, hires and adopts new math materials
Summary
The board approved a year‑long services agreement with Metropolitan Educational Technology Association (META), approved salary schedules and personnel actions for 2025–26, hired a registration consultant for PowerSchool, and adopted recommended math curriculum materials for implementation next school year.
The board approved several operational contracts and personnel items for 2025–26, including an annual services contract with the regional IT cooperative, salary schedule updates, specific hires, and adoption of new math instructional materials.
The board voted to approve the Metropolitan Educational Technology Association (META) master services agreement for core services and a separate IEP‑platform contract (IEP Anywhere) for fiscal year 2026. The superintendent/administrative presenter said META provides the district’s accounting, payroll, student information (PowerSchool) and special‑education software and that switching vendors would require substantial implementation costs.
Separately, the board approved administrative and classified salary schedules for the 2025–26 school year, noting a 1.5% adjustment and that administrators' pay ranges are presented as ranges (no steps), while classified schedules include step increases. The board also approved a motion to rescind a previously accepted resignation for one teacher so that the person’s appointment could be re‑ranged for 2025–26.
The board approved hiring Beth Hadden as a PowerSchool registration consultant for up to 300 hours at an anomaly rate tied to the EIS coordinator step 11; staff noted Hadden performed the role last summer and had been effective in registering parents early.
On curriculum, the board approved recommended math materials for implementation in 2025–26; the adoption package included costs for materials and consultant support for professional development.
Votes for these items were recorded by roll call during the meeting; motions to approve the META contract, salary schedules, hires and the math adoption passed in separate motions.
