District shows pay schedule details; substitutes not included in raise
Summary
Finance staff walked through the pay schedule and hourly/classified pay grades; substitute pay rates were not increased in the proposed budget and administrators said they can revisit that line if the board directs.
The finance director presented the district's salaried and hourly classified pay grades and explained who is on each grade; the proposed pay schedule includes a 3.5% increase for certified staff plus step, and a step plus 2% increase for classified personnel with the hourly starting rate moving to $14.33. The district also described differentiated pay grades for roles such as high‑school bookkeepers and IT field lead technicians.
A board member asked why substitute pay had not been raised; staff said substitute rates were considered but left unchanged this cycle for budgetary reasons, although they can revisit that decision. Administrators noted substitute costs have risen in practice and some departments have already exceeded substitute line items this year.
