Board approves $1-per-hour raise for paraprofessionals and staff
Summary
The committee approved a motion to increase wages for paraprofessionals and related staff by $1 per hour after a motion and second; the vote was taken by voice and carried without recorded opposition. Members requested follow-up on handbook provisions for seniority and benefits after a break in service.
The Solon Springs School District committee approved a motion June 2 to raise paraprofessional and related professional wages by $1 per hour.
The motion was reintroduced by a board member, seconded, and approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The board did not take a roll-call tally in the public record during the motion; five members had been recorded present at roll call earlier in the meeting.
Board members used the same agenda item to flag uncertainty in the employee handbook about whether years-of-service benefits — such as personal and sick time allocations — carry forward after an employee has a break in service. Members asked staff for a written clarification and suggested the board consider a clear policy on how prior service will be credited on rehire.
The motion implements the pay increase for the upcoming school year; no funding source or budget amendment was stated on the record during the discussion. The committee moved into other agenda items after the vote.
