Board member urges review of $366,000 co‑curricular schedule before approval
Summary
During a personnel committee report, Dr. Markley said the co‑curricular/extracurricular positions document lists up to $366,000 and urged the board to review responsibility factors, longevity/bonus labels, and department chair listings before approving the schedule.
Dr. Markley, chairing the personnel committee, presented six motions July 14 that included approval of a volunteer (Bruce Smith), two conference requests, ratification of a summer‑academy teacher at $40 per hour, acceptance of the resignation of Jenny Batts, and approval of the 2026‑27 co‑curricular and extracurricular positions.
Dr. Markley told the board the co‑curricular document includes up to $366,000 and said the document is complex and difficult to understand. He called for a detailed review of responsibility factors, longevity or bonus labels and the listing of department chairs, and requested the superintendent bring the complete document to a future meeting so members could review it together.
Other board members agreed the document needed clarification and suggested meeting 30 minutes early or holding an executive session to review details. Members noted some entries in the presented document appeared to refer to marching band duties per the collective bargaining agreement and that any changes to the CBA must be negotiated with the union.
No final vote on the personnel motions was recorded in the transcript; Dr. Markley indicated further discussion would take place at a future executive session or meeting when the full document is available.
