Committee debates stipend adjustments for coaches and sponsors; member proposes cameras review group
Summary
Members discussed options for extracurricular stipends — a 2% across‑the‑board increase (≈$47,700) or 3% (≈$54,004) — and asked staff to continue analysis; one member proposed a small committee to study camera policy and program oversight.
Committee members said they have been evaluating stipends for extracurricular activities, including athletic coaches and club sponsors, and presented preliminary budget impacts for modest increases.
"Just a 2% increase across the board ... would be a budget impact about $47,700," one committee member said; another suggested a 3% increase and estimated an impact of about $54,003.75, and urged staff to continue refining the numbers and the methodology. Members discussed methodological choices: using a percentage of salary for coaches and flat rates or individualized reviews for sponsors, to account for widely varying club sizes and workloads.
A member raised concerns about equity across clubs — for example, one club with 50 students versus a club with 10 — and asked how stipends could be balanced to reflect those differences fairly. Staff and members agreed to continue discussions and bring refined options to the board when the budget returns for a vote.
Separately, a committee member said several board members had signaled interest in a deeper review of the district’s camera program and suggested forming a small committee to define roles and responsibilities for camera maintenance and oversight. The chair agreed that such a study would be useful. The meeting concluded with a motion that was seconded; no vote or action on the proposals was recorded in the provided transcript.
