Pillager board agrees to add short-term contract days for counselors to handle growing workload
Summary
The board approved adding five extra days for the high‑school counselor and two extra days for the middle‑school counselor for the coming year, with an estimated incremental cost discussed; the change responds to increased registration and post‑secondary coordination work.
The Pillager Public School District board moved to add short additional contract days for school counselors after personnel committee review.
Personnel reported that counselors requested extra contract days to manage increased registration work and post‑secondary coordination. The committee recommended a smaller addition than originally requested: five additional days for the high‑school counselor and two for the middle‑school counselor for the coming year. Board discussion noted a plan to monitor whether the additional days are sufficient and to revisit the arrangement if workload remains high.
The district provided an estimated incremental cost during the discussion (staff referenced figures of roughly $2,400 for the high school and $990 for the middle school, or an aggregate additional amount of about $3,300); the board said the change is intended as a budgeted, limited‑duration response to workload and will be reviewed after implementation.
The motion was moved and seconded during the personnel portion of the meeting and recorded as passing in the meeting discussion.
