Dysart board approves 2026 summer programs and staff compensation; retention stipend set at 3%
Summary
The board approved a three-part summer program plan (teacher summer workshop, summer learning sessions, student summer school including ESY) with defined pay structures and also approved a 3% retention stipend for FY 2026–27 for current employees.
Administration outlined three summer offerings and the compensation models for staff: a four‑day summer workshop focused on PLC work paid at per‑diem rates, smaller summer‑learning sessions paid hourly, and student summer school/ESY for credit recovery and special education supports (high‑school summer school is fee‑based and starts in April). Administrators also announced Title‑funded programming for seventh‑ and eighth‑grade math in Title I schools and noted transportation would be provided for that program.
The board moved and approved the 2026 summer learning and staff compensation structure as presented. Later in the meeting, after an executive session, the board approved a recommendation for a salary increase for FY 2026–27 and separately approved a 3% retention stipend for current employees for FY 2026–27.
Administrators said the summer workshop is intended to build instructional capacity and that high‑school summer courses are intended primarily for credit‑deficient students or those seeking advancement under defined criteria.
