The board also approved classified hires—several special‑education paraprofessionals and night custodians—with stated hourly rates (e.g., $18.67 and $19.08 per hour) and contingent on required employment documentation. The packet listed numerous 6th‑period stipends at Jacksonville High School, generally $2,250 for a range of teachers and staff; one planning-period stipend was pro‑rated ($833.37).
