Beloit board approves roughly 2.95% compensation increase for non‑BEA, BSU and substitutes
Summary
The board unanimously approved a package of compensation adjustments on Oct. 7 that advances returning employees one step on their pay matrix (about 2.13%) plus a 0.81% scale increase — totaling roughly 2.95% — and gave a separate 2.9% increase to daily and permanent substitutes.
The School District of Beloit Board of Education on Oct. 7 approved cost‑of‑living adjustments for multiple employee groups, including non‑BEA (non‑teachers) and BSU (secretarial) units, and a separate increase for substitute employees.
Administration proposed, and the board approved, advancing returning employees one row on their compensation matrix (an approximate 2.13% increase) plus an additional 0.81% added to the salary scale, for a total of roughly 2.95% for returning employees. New staff beginning in 2025–26 will receive a 0.81% scale increase only. The board also approved a similar 2.95% package for the Beloit Secretaries Union and approved a 2.9% increase for daily and permanent substitutes.
Superintendent Willie Garrison II described the changes as a cost‑of‑living adjustment tied to the district’s compensation matrix. Board member Amy Levy noted that the funds for the increase come from the district’s OPEB (other post‑employment benefits) funds.
All motions on compensation passed unanimously. The board said the increases are intended to help with recruitment and retention amid ongoing staffing pressures.
