Board approves personnel report but removes proposed food-service director hire from the packet
Summary
Trustees approved the personnel report with item 1 removed after discussion about the salary listed for a proposed full-time food-service director; trustees asked for more detail on salary scale and funding reimbursements before considering the position.
The School City of East Chicago board on April 28 approved the personnel report after a motion to approve the report with item number 1 removed. The item in question listed a full-time director of food services with a salary figure that some trustees characterized as high; trustees asked for additional information on salary scale comparisons and funding sources.
A trustee quoted an approximate salary figure of $98,000 for the director and said more data was needed before approving that single position. Administration replied that the proposed hire fit the approved administrator salary scale and that portions of the director's compensation would be reimbursable through grants or federal program funds. Trustees discussed timing and the need to address administrative salary schedules more broadly.
After debate trustees moved to approve the personnel report with item 1 removed; the motion passed by roll call. Administration said staff would return with more information about the director position, funding sources, and the broader administrator salary schedule.
