Board reviews proposed salary schedules, 1.17% raise and extra-duty pay revisions; teacher minimum set at $40,000 under Senate Bill 727
Summary
Doctor Krause presented proposed updates to teacher, support, additional pay and extra-duty salary schedules that include a 1.17% uplift and multiple adjustments to hourly and stipend rates; staff will bring the complete package back for approval on March 20.
Doctor Krause reviewed proposed updates to the district's salary schedules and pay rates and told the board the documents will be returned for approval at the March 20 meeting.
She said most salary schedules include a 1.17% increase (described as a $500 increase to the base on the teacher schedule). For additional pay rates, the administration recommended converting some event pay lines to hourly rates, raising activity security and technical scorer/bookkeeper pay, removing unused items and aligning nurse registration to an hourly rate (proposed $35/hour for nurse registration). Doctor Krause described extra-duty schedule adjustments intended to move several high-school activities into a higher category and raise stipends so the district is more competitive with a 15-district comparison set; she said the work was designed to create consistent step progressions and more equitable category placements.
On teacher pay and certification, Doctor Krause said state law requires a minimum of $40,000 for certain positions (Senate Bill 727) and proposed a temporary daily rate for staff without required Missouri teacher certification. She said, "teachers who have not yet submitted evidence of appropriate Missouri teacher certification will be paid at the rate of $221 per day until their certificate is paid." Doctor Krause also described moving core data analysts from the support-staff schedule to the professional schedule to align pay for similar duties.
Mr. Nolte summarized the extra-duty comparisons and noted several head-coaching stipends and sponsor rates were increased; the plan is intended to move most stipends into the district's top-half of the comparison group and to correct internal category inconsistencies. Doctor Krause said nutrition services and operations will receive the 1.17% across-the-board increase with collective bargaining talks to follow for those units; the board heard no motions on these items at the meeting and staff will present recommended approval in two weeks.
