Committee approves updated employee and substitute handbooks; substitute rates revised in packet
Summary
The committee approved updates to the employee handbook and the substitute handbook. The substitute packet lists rate changes transcribed in the meeting packet (presented as increases from 1.15 to 1.30 for teacher subs and larger increases for nurses and long-term substitutes); onboarding/training materials will be provided online.
The Webster School Committee approved an updated employee handbook that consolidates policy references, updates mission and nondiscrimination language, corrects duplicated classifications and inserts consolidated bullying-policy language for clarity.
The committee also approved a revised substitute handbook. The packet presented recommended rate adjustments and related language; the transcript recorded the proposed changes as increases from "1.15" to "1.30" for the teacher substitute rate and higher adjustments for long-term substitutes and nurses (verbatim from the packet language as read at the meeting). Business manager Ponto said substitutes receive a copy of the handbook when hired and the district also posts onboarding and training resources online.
Committee members asked how substitutes receive the handbook and the business manager confirmed a work-copy is provided, signatures collected and online training materials will be used for onboarding.
