Board approves 2024–25 handbooks, pay schedule and superintendent contract raise
Summary
Brown County School Corporation approved the 2024–25 support staff and administrator handbooks, a July 1 hourly pay schedule (including about a 5% raise on the support-staff scale tied to a recent referendum), and the maximum raise available under the superintendent contract for 2024–25.
The Brown County School Corporation on July 22 approved a set of personnel and compensation items for the 2024–25 school year, including support-staff and administrator handbooks, a new hourly pay schedule effective July 1, and the maximum raise allowed under the superintendent’s contract.
During action on the support staff handbook, the superintendent said there were “no major changes other than just, little minor logistics and language.” The board approved the handbook by roll call.
Members also voted to adopt the 2024–25 administrator benefits handbook, described by the chair as largely the same as the prior year with wording changes.
On the pay schedule, the superintendent framed the change as an outcome of a successful referendum and said the district was able to move support staffing up by about 5% on the certified scale. Board members noted the need to remain competitive with market pay for support staff; the hourly pay schedule was approved unanimously and is effective July 1, 2024.
Separately the board approved the maximum raise available under the superintendent contract (section 5b) through an amendment for the 2024–25 school year. Board members praised the superintendent’s performance during her three years with the district in supporting the measure.
The board also approved a recommendation to increase the contract days for Wendy Gore, student services advisor at Brown County Middle School, from 184 to 186 days beginning with the 2024–25 contract year to support registration duties.
All items carried on roll call with no recorded dissents. Implementation steps include updating payroll and personnel records and allocating funds consistent with the approved pay schedule.
