Two budget options would raise teacher pay; Option A requires $12.8 million, Option B shifts costs under interlocal terms
Summary
Staff presented two options: Option A would add about $12.8 million for mandated and local supplement increases; Option B raises the certified supplement to $2,000 but requires charter allocations and raises fund-balance needs to roughly $2.1 million.
Miss McLean (Speaker 3) described two budget options for the committee to consider and recommend to the full board.
Under Option A, Miss McLean said mandated state increases and local supplement adjustments would ‘‘bring our total budget need for this for this option to $12,800,000,’’ and that after redirects and local increases the district might assign about $1,700,000 of fund balance to cover the difference. Option A envisions a $1,000 certified local supplement and stipend increases for teacher assistants.
Option B, Miss McLean explained, reflects constraints in the interlocal agreement. Additional local dollars would be subject to charter-school allocation ("about 423,000"), the certified supplement would increase to $2,000 (an estimated $475,000 to cover certified staff), and the net effect would raise the projected fund-balance assignment to roughly $2,100,000. Miss McLean warned that the district would need to build recurring costs into the 2027–28 budget cycle if one-time bonuses become recurring.
