Board approves personnel report, 2% staff pay increase and 11 open-enrollment approvals
Summary
The Three Lakes board approved the monthly personnel report (hires and resignations), a 2% salary increase for district staff including busing contracts for 2026–27, and cleared 11 open-enrollment applications that met criteria amid a printed-count discrepancy.
The board approved multiple staffing and compensation items at its meeting. The personnel report listed two hires — Tyler Wigman (high school English teacher) and Pat George (high school head football coach) — and two resignations: Jodi Colada (Three Lakes Elementary 4th grade teacher) and Paula Hayes (library media specialist). A motion to approve the personnel report carried without recorded opposition.
On compensation, district staff summarized the recommended 2% salary-schedule increase for 2026–27, tied to step-and-lane movements on teacher schedules and concern about an expected unfavorable health-insurance renewal. Caleb, speaking for administration, said the salary schedule presented reflects a 2% increase; he noted that step or lane movement could raise some teachers’ pay by 4%–7% depending on experience and placement. The board voted to approve a 2% increase for district staff and standard busing contracts for 2026–27.
The open-enrollment item generated some numerical confusion in the packet: administration and board members reconciled printed counts and confirmed a final approval of 11 applicants who met the district’s criteria; the motion to approve those applications carried.
The approved personnel and salary actions take effect for the 2026–27 school year; administration will proceed with contract and payroll adjustments and notify affected applicants and staff as appropriate.
