Board holds first reading for HR-114 salary supplement to target highly needed educators
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Chad Lee Bodley presented HR-114, a local implementation of SB 173 (2024) allowing districts to identify high-need educator areas for supplemental pay; the board approved the policy on first reading and the administration will convene a committee to set criteria and communications.
Assistant Superintendent Chad Lee Bodley presented the proposed HR-114 salary supplement policy, describing it as a local implementation of SB 173 (2024) that allows the district to identify high-need educator areas and distribute a sum of state-provided funds among qualifying educators.
Bodley explained the plan calls for a committee of teachers, administrators, human resources and department personnel to review personnel data, identify high-need subject areas and locations (including CTE and special education) and establish an appeal and communication process. For the first implementation year the district will hold harmless educators who previously qualified under the former TSSP rules.
Board members asked whether the statute prescribes specific subject areas (answer: it does not; local education authorities now set high-need areas). After discussion Ms. Mercer moved to approve HR-114 on first reading; the motion was seconded and approved by the board.
No vote counts were recorded in the transcript; the motion was recorded as passing.
