Superintendent Winters said the district will continue discussions and the matter will return to the March agenda.
A classified staff member told the North River School District board on Feb. 20 that they were not seeking negotiations, contrary to Superintendent Wintersearlier statement, and indicated they may file a grievance to seek reimbursement for being placed in a lower-paying position after schedule changes.
Superintendent Winters had reported earlier that classified staff met with him about how the districtadopted four-day school week has affected their pay. At the meeting a classified staff member said, in response, that "they werent asking for any negotiations as Supt. Winters stated and that they may file a grievance to be reimbursed with correct wages from job placement into a position of lower pay." The board agreed the issue will be discussed further at the next board meeting in March.
The transcript does not record a formal motion or a settlement; it records the staff members statement of intent to pursue a grievance and the boards plan to address the issue at a future meeting. The scope of any reimbursement, the grievance timeline, and whether bargaining or arbitration will be involved were not specified in the meeting record.
