Trustees approved a one-year support-staff salary package that combines salary and benefits increases totaling 4.8% (average salary-only increase 3.3%); the motion passed with one abstention.

The Kirkwood R‑VII board voted to adopt a one‑year salary package for support staff that increases the combined salary-and-benefits package by 4.8%.

A district presenter summarized the proposal as a step intended to raise base pay for eligible employees: "I recommend a 1 year salary package for support staff with a combined increase of 4.8%. Salary alone, the average increase is 3.3%." The presenter said the package accounts for both salary and benefits increases and applies to employees currently eligible for the step.

Trustees moved and seconded the recommendation, discussed it briefly, and voted. The motion passed and the record shows one abstention; the meeting transcript does not identify the abstaining trustee by name. Human Resources will implement the approved adjustments and report completion in the district payroll cycle.

The board's approval completes the formal step to enact the increases; the administration said it will follow up with implementation details to the board.
