Summary
The board unanimously approved a budget amendment reallocating $85,217.96 to increase supplemental salaries and related FICA across campus and departmental accounts, as presented by Business Manager Kim Phillips.
The Wellington Independent School District Board approved a comprehensive budget amendment Nov. 11 that reallocates $85,217.96 to increase supplemental salaries, stipends and associated FICA contributions across multiple departments and campuses. Business Manager Kim Phillips presented the amendment to the board.
"MOTION BY Brad Bawcom, SECONDED BY Lance Kane to approve the following budget amendment as presented by Business Manager, Kim Phillips:" appears verbatim in the minutes; the motion carried unanimously. The amendment lists multiple line-item increases, including supplemental teacher stipends, aides, counselors, nurses, custodians, cafeteria staff, technology staff and administrative support, and records an offsetting decrease in the "Other Resources Transfers In" line of $(85,217.96) to rebalance the fund.
The minutes itemize many small increases (for example: $12,750.00 — supplemental pay for high-school teachers; $18,000.00 — supplemental pay for elementary teachers; $7,500.00 — custodians supplemental salary increase; and $4,500.00 — cafeteria supplemental salary increase) and multiple related FICA adjustments. The amendment is recorded as "AMENDMENT TO RECODE FOR STIPEND"; the minutes do not include the long-term personnel or contract commitments tied to these stipend adjustments.
