Committee recommends 1.5% pay increase, longevity and $250 bonus for support staff
Summary
The Personnel Committee recommended a 1.5% support-staff pay increase for 2025–26 with step increases, an annual longevity bonus, and a $250 bonus to be paid in December. The recommendation passed and will be forwarded to district leadership.
The Darlington Community School District Personnel Committee on April 7 recommended a 1.5% pay increase for support staff for the 2025–26 school year, with step increases, an annual longevity bonus and a $250 bonus to be paid in December. Committee member Jeff Stauffacher moved the recommendation; Rick Fink seconded the motion and the minutes record that the motion "carried."
The motion language from the minutes states: "to recommend 2025-26 support staff pay increase of 1.5% with steps; also annual longevity bonus and a $250.00 bonus to be paid out in December." The meeting minutes do not record a detailed vote tally or projected budgetary cost for the proposal.
The minutes do not indicate which district account would fund the bonus or longevity payments; implementation and budgetary approval appear to be next steps for administration or the full board to consider.
