Board updates employee handbook (raises curriculum rate) and approves three hires
Summary
The board approved handbook changes that remove legacy post‑employment benefits, align FSA limits to IRS maxima, and raise the curriculum supplemental rate from $22/hr to $25/hr; trustees also approved three personnel hires: an English teacher and two associate principals.
The Pewaukee School District board approved revisions to the employee handbook and addendums and approved three personnel hires.
Administration said the handbook changes remove legacy post‑employment benefits no longer available, align flexible‑spending account limits to IRS maximums, and update supplemental pay schedules. Notably, the curriculum supplemental rate applied to additional curriculum work will increase from $22 per hour to $25 per hour. The board discussed whether details about supplemental pay should be considered in closed session; staff replied that the closed session would address salary‑package deliberations but that supplemental pay categories are a distinct statutory category and are included in the handbook addendums.
The board also approved three hires: Thomas Forky as a high‑school English teacher, Rebecca Brockman as associate principal at Pewaukee Lake, and Lindsay Brimberger as associate principal at the high school. Administration noted both new associate principals hope to attend a future meeting so the board can meet them in person.
Why it matters: The handbook changes affect supplemental pay rates used for curriculum work and extracurricular stipends; the hires fill instructional and administrative vacancies heading into the new school year.
