Canton Public School District trustees approve revised FY25 supplement and administrative salary scales; one trustee dissents
Summary
At a special meeting Aug. 22, the Canton Public School District Board of Trustees approved a revised FY25 supplement and revised FY25 administrative/support salary scales. Trustee Glen Lacey recorded a dissent; Trustee Peter Brown was absent. The board also set its 2024–25 regular meeting schedule.
The Canton Public School District Board of Trustees voted Aug. 22, 2024, to approve a revised fiscal year 2025 supplement and revised FY25 administrative and support salary scales during a special call meeting held via Zoom at the district central office.
The motion to approve Consent Agenda items 4.1 and 4.2 was made by Vice-Chair Lenderrick Taylor and seconded by Secretary Dr. Shivochie Dinkins. According to the meeting minutes, Trustee Glen Lacey voted against the motion; Trustee Peter Brown was recorded as absent. The motion carried with a majority of affirmative votes.
Why it matters: adjustments to supplements and salary scales affect staff compensation and the district’s FY25 budgeting process. The minutes do not specify dollar amounts, affected employee counts, or implementation dates for the changes; those details were not provided in the record of this meeting.
Meeting business: The special meeting opened at 5:30 p.m. with Chair Johnny Brown calling the session to order and offering the invocation. After adopting the agenda by formal motion, the board approved the consent items containing the revised FY25 supplement and the administrative/support salary scales. The minutes list Superintendent Gary Hannah and Tony Foster among others present; the record does not specify Mr. Foster’s role or title.
The board also reviewed the schedule and locations for regular board meetings in 2024–25, including sessions at the Canton Career Center, McNeal Elementary, Reuben B. Myers CSAS, Canton Elementary, Goodloe Elementary School, Nichols Middle School, Porter Middle School and Canton High School; special called meeting locations were noted as Canton Career Center.
No executive session was convened. With no further business, Trustee Glen Lacey moved to adjourn; Vice-Chair Lenderrick Taylor seconded and the meeting was adjourned.
The district’s minutes do not include additional background, fiscal estimates, or supporting exhibits in the text of the record provided, and the meeting record contains an inconsistency in how Trustee Lacey’s vote is shown in the roll call-format listing versus the narrative note that he voted against the motion.
