School board approves technology manager role, SVDM allocations and FY2027 salary schedule
Summary
The board approved restructuring a vacant technology specialist into a computer specialist manager (with a $2.30 pay change listed in the record, unit not specified), approved 2027 SVDM allocations based on enrollment (middle school 29:1, high school 31:1) and adopted the FY2027 salary schedule including several site-funded positions.
At the special-called meeting, the board approved multiple personnel and compensation items, including a restructure in the technology department and a revised salary schedule for FY2027.
On item 4a, an administrator described a technology-department restructuring that converts one vacant specialist position into a computer specialist manager to provide higher-level technical support and management. The administrator said the department will continue to have three specialists working but the structure will shift; the record shows a pay change of "$2.30" for the restructured position, but the transcript does not specify whether that figure is an hourly amount, step change, or other unit.
Item 4b covered 2027 SVDM allocations (uploaded for the board). The administrator said allocations are calculated strictly by enrollment, with no position changes for the year. Examples presented: middle school allocation ratio stated as 29:1 and high school ratio as 31:1; the presenter said the ratios follow state recommendations.
Item 4c addressed the FY2027 salary schedule. The administrator summarized changes: the newly-created computer specialist manager position, addition of a site-funded Mount Vernon Elementary archery coach, site-funded STLP positions at each school, and reductions in extended days previously funded by a Pritchard Committee grant (those 10 days will be funded through Title I and the district). The JROTC extended days were reduced to align with Army funding.
The board moved, seconded and approved each item by voice vote. Motions recorded in the meeting included "Motion by Angie Woods" (agenda adoption), "Motion by Angie Mink, second by Anna Goff" (operations and actions approval), and later motions to approve individual items; the transcript records voice votes and "motion carries" but does not provide individual roll-call tallies.
Separately, the administrator noted the vaping intervention curriculum is being paid for from a county grant and will be required for any middle- or high-school student found vaping at school as part of disciplinary follow-up. The administrator said Mr. Reppert and others had reviewed the curriculum and judged it to be high quality.
Board members asked for follow-up details on the exact pay calculation for the manager position; the administrator said she will work with Miss Brandy to obtain precise figures and report back.
The board approved the salary schedule and related personnel items and advanced the tentative budget; those approvals were recorded by voice vote during the meeting.
