July 6, 2023 at 2:30 PM - Human Resources Committee Meeting.

Description:  This action item is to approve wage increases for Administration and Administrative Support staff and to operate the district teacher compensation plan, as a supplemental pay structure to base wage negotiations. Attached please find a spreadsheet that provides the July 1, 2023 WERC calculated CPI increase to administration/administrative support staff. The board's long term goal has been to provide compensation at least at the average level of comparable districts. There are a couple of positions below this average level and catch-up pay has been included in the attached spreadsheet. The third draft of the budget will be revised to reflect the 2023-25 state budget school funding, which allows for a balanced budget with CPI increases. 

Description:  This action item is an additional increase to the wage schedule that was approved at the June regular meeting.  This increase is to both bring these employee groups in line with the base increase for other internal groups (8%) and to take additional steps to address market competitiveness for Administrative Assistants and Classified Staff.

Within this proposal, the first two steps of the pay schedule for Administrative Assistants and one step for Classified Staff would be removed and all employees would advance the additional steps on July 16, 2023. The third draft of the budget has been revised to include this additional compensation.
