Board approves revised salary schedule to compensate class‑size overages for teachers and education advisers
Summary
The board approved changes to the 2024–25 salary schedule to expand compensation eligibility for teacher class-size overages (including August) and to create a pay structure for education advisers who teach live classes and exceed enrollment thresholds.
Janice, presenting for human resources, summarized two proposed revisions to the 2024–25 salary schedule: (1) extend teacher compensation eligibility for class-size overages to include August work for the 2024–25 school year, and (2) create a new compensation structure for education advisers teaching live classes who exceed the full-time-equivalent threshold.
She told the board the changes are intended "to formalize compensation practices that ensure that we are fairly compensating staff for additional responsibilities beyond their standard workload, retaining talented staff by recognizing the added effort required as the organization continues to grow," and that the budget allocation for the adjustments was approved at first interim in December 2024.
Why it matters: The revisions create clearer and more equitable pay rules for staff who take on additional caseloads or teach above load expectations. They apply to multiple teacher types; presenters said example FTEs include PLTs (based on 28 students) and education advisers (home roster of about 20 students plus online teaching duties).
Board action
A motion to approve the revised 2024–25 salary schedule was moved and seconded during the meeting and carried unanimously by the board members present. The motion authorizes retroactive application of the August time frame for teacher compensation eligibility for class-size overages and adopts a new monthly stipend structure for education advisers teaching live classes when rosters exceed the stated thresholds.
Implementation notes
Staff said the board previously approved the budget allocation for the change at first interim in December 2024; payroll and STRS reporting adjustments will be processed to align with the approved language. Staff offered to provide exact FTE-to-student ratios and stipend calculations to any board member who requested them.
Ending
The board approved the language change unanimously and staff will execute the compensation adjustments and related payroll reporting steps.
