Board approves Option A to provide $1,000 supplement for certified staff
Summary
The board voted to implement 'Option A' in the local budget, approving a $1,000 supplement for certified staff (classroom teachers and teacher assistants) to appear in the August paycheck; staff said the option also covers one-time state bonuses and facilities/trades increases.
Board members voted to implement the local budget 'Option A,' which staff described as providing a $1,000 increase for certified staff and additional increases for teacher assistants and certain skilled trades. Superintendent Houlihan presented the request and asked the board to act so the increases would be reflected in the August paycheck.
Superintendent Houlihan summarized the staff recommendation, saying the option "would subsequently increase our teacher supplements by 1000 dollars" so certified staff receive the increase in August. Board members who worried about leaving money on the table voted in favor; the chair announced, "With that, the ayes have it," and staff were instructed to proceed with implementation for the current pay period.
