District to align nurse pay to experience; staff say there are about 24 nurses and a floater for coverage
Summary
Staff proposed adjusting school nurse pay scales to reflect years of experience and degrees at an estimated combined cost of about $188,000; administrators said the district maintains substitute nurses and a floater to cover absences.
The finance presentation included a recommendation to adjust all school nurses' salaries to an experience-based pay scale to align them with other classified staff. Mr. Pettit said bringing nurses to a correct experience-based scale would cost an estimated $188,000 across the district.
Trustees asked how many nurses the district employs; staff answered there are about 24 nurses, a pool of substitute nurses and a district "floater" who can cover when individual nurses are out. Miss Westmoreland described efforts to maintain a robust substitute pool and to share nurses between schools when necessary. No formal action was taken; the change was presented as an adjustment to the district's baseline if approved in the budget process.
