SLPA tells Brockton School Committee: we didn't get a raise this year
Summary
A speech-language pathology assistant told the full School Committee that SLPAs did not receive a raise this school year and described the responsibilities they perform; the public-comment slot opened the committee's full meeting after the Finance Subcommittee adjourned.
At the start of the School Committee meeting, a public commenter identified himself as Tony Mazzone, a speech-language pathologist assistant at Barrett Russell Early Childhood Center, and said he and other SLPAs were told by email that the committee determined they would not receive a raise for the current school year.
"In 2025, on October 2025, we received an email that the school committee determined we do not get a raise for this school year," Mazzone said, summarizing the notice that prompted the group to come to the meeting. He described duties that include providing speech-language services across preschool settings and working in the extended school year program.
The full committee received the comment during the public-comment portion after the Finance Subcommittee adjourned; committee members did not take an immediate vote or action on the public comment during the first moments of the full meeting recorded in the transcript.
Committee staff and members may review the comment and consider placing SLPA compensation and any related administrative or budget requests on a future agenda for full review.
