Trustees discuss teacher salary matrix and options for negotiations; no action taken
Summary
Board members reviewed the negotiated salary-matrix topic and discussed next steps, including forming a small committee or adding reserved time at upcoming meetings; trustees asked staff to assemble a comparative packet and the MFPE rep to provide live spreadsheets for the first negotiations meeting.
The Boresight Public School Board of Trustees discussed how to approach reopening the negotiated teacher salary matrix and planned next steps toward negotiations, but the board took no formal action.
Elementary principal (S4) said she sought guidance from the board on how much research to do and whether trustees wanted a committee or reserved time at regular meetings: “I just want a discussion from the board… what you expect of me, where you want me to go with this, how much research you want me to do.” Trustee (S7) and others urged a longer-term approach rather than quick decisions, and several trustees agreed to either set aside 15–20 minutes at future meetings or form a committee.
Context and support: Committee member (S9) noted the district’s MFPE representative is preparing live comparative salary spreadsheets to present at the first negotiations meeting, which trustees said would be useful for an informed discussion. Board members emphasized that any substantive changes would return to the negotiation process rather than be decided unilaterally in a regular board meeting.
Outcome: No vote or binding direction was given; staff were asked to prepare a packet (a live spreadsheet and comparative matrices) for the next meeting so trustees can review and discuss options before negotiations restart.
