Summary

The board approved an addendum to contracts providing a $2,000 annual stipend to any employee who earns a master's degree while employed by the district; the addendum passed 6–0.

Staff described a contract addendum to provide an annual $2,000 stipend to employees who complete a master's degree while employed by the district; employees who are hired already holding a master’s degree have the level built into their salary agreements.

"It's $2,000," a board member asked for confirmation; staff confirmed the stipend amount and that it applies in subsequent years. The board moved, seconded and approved the addendum in a roll-call vote recorded as 6–0.

The board noted the addendum is intended as a transparent salary adjustment when a staff member achieves an advanced degree and that the stipend applies only to employees who earn the degree while employed by the district.
