Summary
Trustees approved claims totaling $116,446.26, raised substitute pay (uncertified $10.85/hr, certified $13.35/hr, long-term certified $29.92/hr) and voted to hire Grace Williams as a part-time paraprofessional for 2025–26.
At its Dec. 9 meeting the Scobey K-12 Schools board approved several routine financial and personnel actions, including the approval of claims, adjustments to substitute pay and a personnel hire.
A board member moved to approve claims numbered 19873 through 19908 dated Nov. 8 through Dec. 5, 2025, in the amount of $116,446.26; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Later in the meeting the board voted to raise uncertified substitute pay to $10.85 per hour and certified substitute pay to $13.35 per hour effective Jan. 1, 2026, and approved paying long-term certified substitutes $29.92 per hour for the 2025–26 school year. The superintendent supported the long-term sub rate, noting it more closely approximated starting teacher pay.
