Board approves supplemental teacher payments and budget amendments; personnel list confirmed in closed session
Summary
The Mooresville Graded School District Board of Education approved a recurring state allotment distribution and related budget amendments at its April 7 meeting, and subsequently approved the superintendent's personnel recommendations after a closed-session vote. Board members also heard details on eligibility, estimated district supplementation and federal grant increases.
The Mooresville Graded School District Board of Education on April 7 approved a one-time distribution of recurring state funds for teacher compensation and a set of state, local and federal budget amendments.
Miss Davis presented the teacher supplement package tied to the state PRC allotment, stating the district's allotment as $558,313 and the state's maximum payment to any one qualifying individual as $1,096 (excluding benefits). She said the district currently identified 447 eligible employees and estimated it would need roughly $89,938 in local funds to pay the maximum amount to every eligible staffer. Miss Davis recommended a one-time salary supplement described in the packet as "in the amount of $10.96 dollars per employee," to be paid in June 2026 to employees actively employed through the end of the school year. After the presentation the board made and carried a motion to approve the supplement as presented.
Miss Davis also summarized budget amendments, noting reimbursements for substitute costs, a reclassification for international faculty, reductions in CTE license costs, additional developmental-day and literacy intervention funding, and new federal awards including McKinney-Vento, Title I, IDEA and targeted school-improvement funds. The board moved and approved the resolution to amend the fiscal-year budget ending June 30, 2026.
Later in the meeting the board took a motion to enter closed session "to prevent disclosure of information that is privileged and confidential" and cited General Statute section 143-318.11. After the closed session the board approved the superintendent's personnel recommendations as presented.
Board members asked clarifying questions during the presentations about eligibility rules for the state allotment, the district's authority to determine recipients, and the timing of payments. Miss Davis emphasized that the state controls eligibility (teachers and certified instructional support personnel paid on state legislative salary schedules) and that the district cannot exceed the state maximum. The motions on supplemental payments and on the budget amendments passed by voice vote.
