Board approves hire, donation and substitute pay increases; accepts $500 Lions donation
Summary
The board approved a one-year food-service director contract, accepted a $500 donation for preschool programming, and raised substitute pay to stay competitive; several personnel hires and coach appointments were approved on the consent agenda.
The Melrose Public School District board approved routine business items including personnel actions, a donation and pay-rate adjustments intended to attract substitutes.
On the consent agenda the board approved multiple hires and coach appointments; administrators noted some recent retirements and resignations that created openings. The board accepted a $500 donation from the M Lions for the Community Education preschool program by roll-call vote.
Administrators proposed raising substitute pay to remain competitive with neighboring districts: teacher substitutes to $150 per day; professional substitutes to $15 per hour; substitute custodians to $15 per hour; and food-service substitutes to $12.25 per hour. The board approved the changes.
The board also approved a one-year contract for the food service director position, recommending a local candidate, Heidi Hollandcamp, and approved the contract by voice vote.
