Board approves new systems-administrator salary classification after staffing gap
Summary
The board approved a new salary classification to recruit a systems/network administrator, citing competitive market rates and an applicant who delayed starting after the prior recommendation failed; roll-call votes approved the salary schedule and associated personnel items.
The superintendent presented a revised salary schedule to add a systems/network administrator classification intended to align compensation with market rates for technology specialists. "We looked at rescheduling, restructuring some positions," staff said, and Nate, who conducted salary research, told the board the classification makes the district competitive with similar local districts and IT centers.
Board discussion noted the candidate who had been expected to start postponed because the prior recommendation was not approved; the superintendent said the schedule correction was intended to prevent losing applicants to private-sector competition. A quoted estimate for contracting the work rather than hiring staff was "200 plus dollars an hour, so that'd be 330 k," according to the candidate's remarks about market rates. The roll call recorded in the transcript shows ayes from named board members and the salary schedule and multiple certificated and classified personnel items were approved during the meeting.
