Summary

The finance committee approved an administration request to correct the salary schedule and set bus drivers’ pay at $25 per hour (effective August for the coming school year); the motion passed unanimously after a brief staff explanation of a miscommunication.

TANGIPAHOA PARISH — The Tangipahoa Parish School Board finance committee voted unanimously on Feb. 3 to ratify an administrative correction setting bus drivers’ pay at $25 per hour, effective for the upcoming school year beginning in August.

An administration representative told the committee the salary schedule had an error listing $15 per hour and that the intended rate was $25 per hour. "We actually had intended to have the $25 an hour instead of the 15," the administration representative said, asking the committee to ratify the higher rate so payroll could be corrected for the school year.

Miss Dominguez moved to accept the $25 per hour recommendation; Mister Moore seconded the motion. The committee called the roll: Miss Dominguez, Mister Moore, Mister Westmoreland and Mister Anthony each voted Yes and the motion passed.

Committee members discussed the timing briefly and agreed to place the correction into the regular board meeting materials so payroll changes could be implemented in time for August. The committee adjourned after completing the item.
