Superintendent outlines proposed 27L educator compensation plan and reports on 31aa funding court decision
Summary
Superintendent Ben Kirby described a tiered payment proposal under 27L educator compensation funds and reported that the appeals court upheld a ruling that the 31aa statute language is not unconstitutional; next steps could include a state supreme court filing and federal court timing noted.
Superintendent Ben Kirby provided two updates at the April 15 Curriculum Committee meeting. He said bargaining-group discussions informed a proposed tiered system of payments under the 27L Educator Compensation Funds and described that proposal as a collaborative outcome of meetings with employee groups.
Kirby also gave a status update on 31aa funds: "the appeals court upheld the lower court’s decision that the language is not unconstitutional. Next steps would be to move to the state supreme court. It has been filed in federal court; however, the federal court will not address the case until all state proceedings have been completed." He emphasized that the district views the funds as related to safety and mental health support. The minutes record the update but do not document a board action tied to these items.
