District reviews 2.5%–4.0% salary scenarios, seeks staffing-scale data

Board of Trustees, Mineral Point Unified School District · November 3, 2025

Summary

Business manager Danielle Miller presented four budget scenarios modeling 2.5%–4.0% salary increases and recommended collecting staff placement on the salary scale; the committee discussed simplifying to a consistent percent raise but raised sustainability concerns and requested additional staffing-scale data.

Danielle Miller presented four compensation scenarios to model the budgetary impact of a 2.5% to 4.0% salary increase for staff, noting the scenarios included assumptions about health insurance, transportation, technology, retirement and life insurance. Miller said she used current staff counts and placement for the preliminary modeling and recommended the committee consider whether to move to a simpler model (consistent percent increase) that would remove steps and lanes for budgeting predictability.

Committee members discussed sustainability concerns, noting state funding limitations and the risk of committing future boards to a model that cannot be fully funded. The group asked Miller to compile where current staff are on the salary scale, how many employees occupy each step/lane, and which staff have no further steps available, and to work with Chair Andy Busch to present those details at a future meeting.
