Whiteford Board Approves Multiple Personnel Actions, Pay-Scale Adjustment and Substitute Rates
Summary
The Whiteford School Board approved a package of personnel motions—including summer hires, a middle school administrative assistant, a pay-scale adjustment for a technology teacher, and higher substitute rates—and approved a varsity volleyball overnight trip; the athletic handbook was tabled.
At its June 8 meeting the Whiteford Agricultural School Board approved multiple personnel and compensation items: summer worker hires, a technology summer-worker appointment, a middle school administrative assistant hire, a pay-scale adjustment for an MS/HS technology teacher, and proposed increases to substitute hourly rates. The board also approved a varsity volleyball overnight field trip and tabled the athletic handbook for further consideration.
Specific motions recorded in the minutes include hiring Dawson Call as Technology Summer Worker at $15.76 per hour (June 1–Sept. 1, contingent on background checks), assigning current employees Alana Joerin and Misti Burtscher as summer workers at $15.76 per hour, and hiring Brittany Johnston as the Middle School Administrative Assistant under WESPA terms. All three motions passed with five yes votes and two absences noted (Dixon/Hauser).
The board amended a prior pay-scale action for Kyle McElvany, changing his pay placement to Step 8BA-TBD (minutes list the floor as no less than $47,551) instead of the previously approved Step 5MA-TBD (minutes list the floor as no less than $48,711). The minutes present these figures as recorded on the motion yet do not include additional explanatory language; the board approved the amendment.
The proposed substitute hourly rate increases were approved as presented. The varsity volleyball overnight trip to the Bunge Family Cottage in Mears, Michigan (Aug. 14–16, 2026) was approved at no cost to the district; the minutes record one abstention (Jeff Bunge) and two absences. Consideration of the Athletic Handbook was tabled by consensus until the June 29 meeting.
The minutes list the approvals as routine personnel and operational actions; all listed hires were contingent on favorable prior-employer conduct and FBI/State of Michigan background checks where specified.
