Pembroke School Committee approves 2.5% increase to FY26 administrator salary grid
Summary
The committee approved a 2.5% across‑the‑board increase to the FY26 administrator salary grade after a second reading; the superintendent said administrators typically move steps only at contract renewal (roughly every three years).
The Pembroke School Committee voted unanimously June 3 to approve a 2.5% increase to the fiscal year 2026 administrator salary grid.
The superintendent presented historical data and area comparators and recommended the 2.5% increase, saying the district is approaching parity concerns between top‑step teachers and entry‑level administrators. “I do foresee needing to rework the whole grid potentially next year based off of the comps in the surrounding community,” the superintendent said.
The nut graf: the increase is a cost‑of‑living/market adjustment applied across listed administrator job categories; administrators move between levels only at contract renewal (typically every three years), so the 2.5% is the incremental raise available for the coming year.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about how comparator districts’ numbers were used (ranges for elementary positions, actuals for single‑high‑school districts). A committee member confirmed that administrators’ step progression is tied to three‑year contract renewals rather than annual automatic steps.
Ending: A motion to approve the second reading of the FY26 administrator salary grid passed without recorded opposition. The committee did not discuss a specific dollar total in public during the meeting and did not alter existing contracts beyond the approved grid change.
