(KLZA)-- During the February meeting of the Humboldt-Table Rock-Steinauer School Board, agreements were approved with teachers and administrators.  

The Board approved an additional step on the salary schedule. Superintendent Sherri Edumundson said the step was added to the bottom of the pay scale which will allow teachers that had no more steps to move on, to receive a pay raise without furthering their education or getting a Masters Degree.  The pay increase will amount to about $1,700.

The negotiated agreement is for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years.  

The Board also approved new contracts for the district Principals. 
Kari Lottman will serve as a half-time Assistant Principal and half-time math teacher. Currently Lottman is Assistant Principal / Special Education Coordinator.

Lisa Othmer’s contact was changed from an 11-month to a 12-month contract and she will received 15 days vacation and school holidays off with a $4,500 pay increase.

Superintendent Sherri Edmundson’s salary will increase $6-thousand for the next school year.

Comparison studies indicated the principal and superintendent positions were near the bottom of the pay scale with schools of similar size.
