Board approves 2.63% wage increases for certified, support and administrative staff
Summary
The board approved a 2.63% pay increase for certified, support, and administrative staff groups (CPI cited at 2.63%). Certified staff vote included one abstention; subsequent support and administrative staff votes passed by roll call.
The New London School District board approved wage increases of up to 2.63% for multiple employee groups as presented at the meeting.
The district’s proposed increases — tied to the consumer price index cited in staff materials — were presented for certified staff, support staff, and administrative staff. A motion to approve a 2.63% increase for the certified staff group passed on a roll call that recorded one abstention by Nate Grundy; the recorded yes responses included Katie Benton, Mark Grossman, John Heidemann, Jeff Gulbrandsen, Holly Schweitzer and Andy Groff.
Motions to approve the same 2.63% for support staff and for administrative staff were each carried by roll call votes recorded in the meeting.
Board members discussed the generosity of the proposed increase compared with private‑sector practice and noted considerations such as pay range structure and benefits are separate matters. The administration indicated certified contract development would proceed based on the approved percentage and that administrative staff recommendations would be handled via a closed‑session recommendation as appropriate.
