Staff explains state supplement: paid once a year, retirement-eligible; last year amount was $962
Summary
Miss McLean told the committee the state supplement is paid annually (in May), varies year to year, is retirement-eligible, and amounted to $962 the past year; the committee discussed how to treat that payment alongside local supplements.
Committee members asked how the state supplement is treated and whether it counts toward retirement and base pay. Miss McLean (Speaker 3) explained the district pays the state supplement once a year (in May) and that it is retirement-eligible. She said the amount fluctuates and that "this past year, it was $962." The committee discussed the timing and staff preferences for an annual payment before summer.
Miss McLean said the state supplement combined with local supplements affects the district's placement on regional pay scales and that the one-time timing has been useful to give staff an extra bump before summer. The committee accepted that explanation while evaluating how local supplements would stack on top of the state supplement under each option.
