Monona Grove board approves support staff handbook and multiple wage adjustments to reach 75th percentile benchmarks
Summary
The board approved the 2026–27 support staff handbook and several bargaining agreements that include the statutory 2.63% base wage increase plus larger average compensation adjustments intended to move job classes toward the district's 75th‑percentile pay target.
The Monona Grove School District board approved a package of personnel items including the 2026–27 support staff handbook and collective bargaining agreements and compensation plans for buildings and grounds, and para/professional/admin assistant groups.
Administration described the handbook as the product of multiple meetings with employees and building teams; notable changes codified evaluation frequency (initial evaluation at 3–6 months, then every other year), clarified uniform and building allowance amounts, and extended reduction‑in‑force notice from 14 to 30 days.
On compensation, the board approved the statutorily allowed 2.63% base wage increase for bargaining units. The buildings and grounds compensation plan applies an average increase of about 6.7% and is intended to move many custodian/grounds classifications to the district’s 75th percentile benchmark. The para/professional and administrative assistants compensation plan carries an average increase of about 6.82%, moving several job classes toward the 60th–75th percentile range against the district’s benchmark districts.
Board members thanked personnel, administration and the union representatives for a collaborative process. All motions passed on voice vote.
