Summary
The Milan Area Schools board approved technology and district‑office salary schedule updates and adopted cafeteria employee policies that include a 5% across‑the‑board wage increase funded from the cafeteria fund balance; motions passed unanimously.
The Milan Area Schools Board on Jan. 14 approved a set of personnel and compensation updates covering technology staff, district office employees and cafeteria workers.
The board approved a technology staff salary schedule (Attachment C) that moves newly hired technical positions onto a separate schedule to remain compliant with state retirement (ORS) requirements; administrators described the change as primarily procedural for one recently hired technical support specialist. The district also approved a district office salary schedule update (Attachment D) to place two recently hired administrative positions on a new schedule.
Separately, the board approved cafeteria employee policies (Attachment E). Administration said the cafeteria policies function as the employees’ handbook (not a contract) and that cafeteria workers received a 5% wage increase across the pay scale; that increase will be funded from the cafeteria fund balance and the district estimated the expense as less than 3% of the district’s budget impact for the position group.
Votes: motions for the technology schedule, district office schedule and cafeteria policies were moved, seconded and carried unanimously (recorded as 6-0 where votes occurred after an additional member arrived).
What’s next: administration said it will implement the new schedules and post details; specifics about wider wage adjustments for other support staff were not decided at this meeting.
