Board hears proposal for $1,500 teacher increase and step/COL adjustments for staff
Summary
Administrators proposed a $1,500 per-teacher increase, a 2% cost-of-living adjustment for nonteaching staff, and a step increase pool; total salary-related increases were estimated at about $2.08 million with a $207,000 local funding gap after state support.
Ken Love told the board the compensation package in the proposal includes a $1,500 per-teacher increase, a 2% cost-of-living increase for nonteaching staff, and an overall step increase pool. "The teachers would get $1,500," Love said, and he described the combined salary-related increase as roughly $2,080,000.
Love explained the district received additional state funding but still faces a gap: "The $207,000 you see there is how much we are short from this amount that the state gave us," he said. Board members and staff discussed how step increases and local decisions could be adjusted depending on final legislative allocations and reassessment numbers.
