Board approves new secondary EL paraprofessional position and $25 translation rate
Summary
The school board voted 6-0 to create a secondary English-learner paraprofessional position and add a $25-per-hour translation pay rate to the miscellaneous pay sheet to expand EL student and family support.
On a motion by Darrin Anderson, seconded by Marcia Provencher, the Litchfield Public School District board approved a new English-learner (EL) paraprofessional position at the secondary level and added a $25.00-per-hour translation rate to the district miscellaneous pay rate sheet. The motion carried 6-0.
Superintendent Susan Burris had proposed the hire and the pay-rate change to enhance supports for English Learner students and families; the minutes record that members of the audience spoke in support but do not record individual names or verbatim remarks. The action is recorded as a personnel and compensation change; the board did not specify the exact start date for the new EL para in the minutes.
