Summary
An unidentified speaker told the Ellington School District meeting that the budget book shows the EHS principal salary for fiscal years 26 and 27 as $185,849 but that the district is 'contractually obligated to pay 194.72,' proposing corrected line items of 180948.4 or 171424.8 depending on hiring scenario.
An unidentified speaker at an Ellington School District meeting flagged what they said is an error in the budget book for the EHS principal salary.
The speaker said the budget book lists the salary for fiscal years 26 and 27 as "dollars 185,849," but that "contractually we're obligated to pay 194.72." They said the discrepancy matters because the district's contractual obligation sets the minimum pay unless a reduction applies.
The speaker outlined two possible reductions that could lower the cost: a 5% reduction if the district moved a current administrator into the position, or a 10% reduction if the hire came from outside the district. Citing those scenarios, the speaker said "that line item should either read 180948.4 or 171424.8." The speaker also noted the asterisk in the budget book is meant to indicate the printed number "is not correct."
