Hyannis Area Schools board approves $39,000 base salary and narrowly backs administrative pay increases
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting the Hyannis Area Schools board approved a negotiated agreement that sets a $39,000 base salary, authorized administrative contract increases after rejecting a no‑increase motion, and approved a Business Manager pay adjustment.
The Hyannis Area Schools Board of Education on Dec. 9 approved a negotiated agreement with the Hyannis Education Association that sets a $39,000 base salary for the contract period. The board convened at 5:00 PM in the high school library and took the action by motion of Clint Taylor, seconded by Chris Cover; the motion passed unanimously.
The meeting then turned to administrative contracts for the 2025–2026 school year. A motion by Taylor, seconded by Cover, to approve administrative contracts with no increases failed on a roll call that showed three No votes, two Aye votes and one abstention (President Justin Vinton voted No; Rodney Boots Abstained; Kevin Anderson voted No; Chris Cover and Clint Taylor voted Aye; Chris Gentry voted No). The board then approved a separate motion by Chris Gentry, seconded by Kevin Anderson, to adopt administrative contracts with the increases presented; that motion passed (Vinton, Boots, Anderson and Gentry voted Aye; Cover and Taylor voted No).
Separately, the board approved a work agreement for Business Manager Lauren Kostman providing an annual increase of $909.53. That motion was made by Rodney Boots, seconded by Kevin Anderson, and passed unanimously.
The motions were recorded in the meeting minutes with standard mover/second attributions and vote tallies; the minutes do not include direct quotes from board members. The actions mark final board approval for the negotiated agreement and the administrative contracts as presented; no amendments were recorded on the motions.
The board did not attach additional conditions to the approved administrative contracts in the minutes. The next regular meeting was recorded in the minutes as Monday, Jan. 13 (the minutes list the year as 2024; the scheduling reference is likely intended to be Jan. 13, 2025).
