After interviews, the board approved hiring a local candidate for a combined maintenance/transportation role and a $3-per-hour increase to specified pay steps; staff said the classified union had no objection and a board member abstained from the vote due to the person-specific nature of the request.

The board approved hiring for a maintenance/transportation position and authorized a $3-per-hour increase for the selected step placements.

Staff reported they interviewed two candidates and recommended hiring one qualified local applicant, identified in discussion as George White. The presenter said the classified union had been consulted and had no objection. On the raise, the presenter stated, "Those are the 2 that we're increasing by $3 an hour."
