Jackson board approves raise for limited-service teachers to $125 per day
Summary
The board approved increasing daily pay for limited-service teachers from $85 to $125 to boost recruitment and support staff working toward certification.
The Jackson Public School District board voted to increase pay for limited-service teachers from $85 to $125 per day.
The administration told the board that limited-service teachers — staff who supervise classrooms and support instruction in the absence of a certified teacher — carry significant responsibilities and that the existing $85 daily rate did not reflect that level of responsibility. Officials said the raise is intended to improve recruitment and retention and to help employees who are working toward certification.
The move drew general support from trustees, who said the higher rate should make the positions more attractive and provide a more feasible financial runway for staff finishing certification requirements.
Action: A motion to approve the increase was moved by Trustee Taylor and seconded by Trustee Bridal; the board approved the change by voice vote with no nays recorded.
Next steps: Administration said the change is aimed at stabilizing staffing at schools and supporting personnel who are completing certification requirements; implementation details and effective date were presented as part of the personnel packet.
