Board adopts flat-rate pay schedule for Parents as Teachers program
Summary
Board approved changing the Parents as Teachers pay from hourly to a flat-rate schedule to simplify payroll and align with peer districts; presenters said no current employee will see a pay decrease.
The board approved a new pay schedule for the Parents as Teachers (PAT) program that moves staff from an hourly pay model to a flat-rate model, a change the district said is intended to streamline payroll and align the district with neighboring districts’ practices.
In the action-item discussion, a presenter explained the change returns the program to an earlier flat-rate approach because hourly remote clock‑in created inconsistencies. The presenter said the flat rates adhere to Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) guidance and are structured to approximate existing payments so current employees “will not see a decrease.”
Board members asked whether the change would affect expenditures or the fund source. The presenter said it would not increase expenditures and that PAT pay remains an operational (Fund 1) expense. The motion to approve the 2025–26 PAT salary schedule was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript and no opposition was announced.
The board did not record any amendments to the schedule during the meeting; staff said they will monitor implementation going forward.
