Committee reviews 2026–27 salary‑schedule changes including $1,500 staff increase and a speech‑therapist reclassification
Summary
Committee discussed updates to the 2026–27 salary schedule: a $1,500 across‑the‑board increase proposal, substitute and paraprofessional rate adjustments, reclassification of speech therapists to a higher level effective March 1 and retroactivity for employees hired before July 1; the item was informational and not acted on.
Julie, the committee chair, opened discussion of the proposed 2026–27 salary schedule and asked staff to summarize the changes.
Regina Jackson, a staff member, said the district is updating two items in the salary/service schedule: several roles are moving from T‑1 to T‑5 and the speech‑therapist classification will change from T‑1 level 2 to level 4 effective March 1, 2026. Jackson said the changes correct the published schedule so it reflects decisions the executive meeting had already made.
Staff and committee members clarified that some of the changes are retroactive for employees who were hired before July 1. Jackson said the salary corrections relate to employees employed before the July 1 date, and that the change was intended to align the schedule with the executive actions that were effective immediately.
During the discussion staff summarized additional pay proposals discussed orally: a $1,500 increase for certified and noncertified staff, substitute daily pay (noncertified substitute $110/day), and paraprofessional pay cited as $14/hour. Committee members asked how broadly the $1,500 increase would apply and whether the item required formal action; the chair confirmed this particular revision was not on the agenda as an action item today.
Staff will incorporate the agreed changes into the published salary schedule and present any formal action language when the item returns for board consideration.
