Board discussion explains state requirement to publish district salaries
Summary
At the Nov. 24 meeting, a board discussion clarified that publishing employee salaries is a state requirement; the board said the district posts the information as an addendum to minutes and runs it in the newspaper annually.
During Board Discussion item 6.1 at the Nov. 24, 2025 meeting an unidentified board member asked about a "salary bill" provision. An unidentified speaker responded that publishing salaries is a state requirement and described the district’s practice: the salary list is included as an addendum to the minutes and published in the newspaper annually.
The speaker said the salary publication requirement is completed once a year and is not part of negotiations. "It's actually a state requirement to go ahead and publish," the speaker said, noting the district files the information as an addendum to the minutes and it appears in the local newspaper.
The board did not vote on changes to salary policy or negotiations at that time; the exchange was explanatory. The item was presented as informational to meet statutory publication obligations rather than for bargaining or policy change.
