Trustees move to rename 'supervisor' supplement, direct payroll change after chart review
Summary
Board members questioned why a technical support specialist receives a 'supervisor' supplement and directed staff to create a new payroll supplement (suggested label: 'assistant supervisor') and update payroll records to match duties.
During the Coffee County Board of Education meeting, trustees flagged inconsistent use of a "supervisor" supplement for a technology-support specialist who is not listed as a supervisor on the district organizational chart.
Trustees questioned the nomenclature and pay alignment; one board member suggested renaming the line to reflect actual responsibilities. "I'll put the word assistant supervisor in there or something," a trustee said during discussion of the title change. Staff explained the supplement's history, saying earlier $1,000 supplements were converted to percentage supplements—commonly 4%—when schedules were consolidated.
The board directed staff to add a new supplement code in the payroll system and change the label used in district materials so compensation more clearly reflects job duties. The action is administrative: staff will implement a new supplement name and update payroll, with details to be returned to trustees for confirmation.
