Board approves higher summer school pay, accepts school renewal plans with one opposed
Summary
The board approved recommended 2026 summer school pay increases for teachers and teacher assistants and approved school renewal plans after a brief discussion; the summer pay motion passed with no opposition and the renewal plans passed with one board member opposed.
The Orangeburg County School District Board of Trustees on April 14 approved a recommendation to increase summer school compensation to $45 per hour for teachers and $22.50 per hour for teacher assistants for the 2026 summer session.
Curriculum and Instruction staff presented the change as an increase from the current policy rate of $30 per hour for teachers and $15 per hour for assistants. A board member moved to accept the recommendation; the chair called the vote and reported the motion carried with no opposition.
In the same section of the agenda, staff described the district's strategic-plan process, noting the district is in year four of a five-year plan and estimating roughly 85% completion of planned activities. Board members asked for supporting documentation showing progress against the plan. After discussion, a motion to approve school renewal plans as presented was moved and seconded; the chair reported the motion passed with one opposed.
Board members asked for the strategic-plan checklist and supporting artifacts to be provided at a future update so members can review the evidence behind the stated completion percentages. No roll-call vote totals were read into the record for either motion.
