Board OKs class‑coverage MOU; paraprofessionals to receive additional pay for leading classes
Summary
Board approved an MOU enabling paraprofessionals to provide class coverage when teachers are absent and approves additional compensation for full‑day coverage; the transcript’s half‑day pay figure was unclear and is noted as not specified.
The board approved a memorandum that lets qualified paraprofessionals lead self‑contained or resource classrooms in a teacher’s absence and establishes extra compensation for that work. The superintendent said the agreement provides additional pay when a paraprofessional serves as the lead for an entire day: “if they were going to be the lead person for the entire day, they would have an additional $50.” The motion passed by roll call.
Meeting discussion clarified this arrangement is intended for extended absences (sick leave, professional leave) when a paraprofessional with appropriate experience runs the room and the teacher of record remains the official teacher. The transcript contained an unclear figure for the half‑day additional rate; the district should confirm the precise half‑day compensation amount in the formal MOU.
