The Board accepted the retirement resignation from Title I teacher Anne Maschman. Voted to advertise for a speech pathologist and approved a classified salary scheduled.
The classified salary schedule will take into consideration length of service and education. For the 2016-17 school year all classified staff members will receive at least a 10-cent per hour pay raise.
The Board also voted to pay the penalty for one year for not offering a health insurance plan that covers employees on a nine-month contract. The penalty amount is not known at this time. It will cover approximately 25 employees.
Board members felt it would be better to pay the penalty the first year and see what happens with the Affordable Healthcare Act when a new President takes office in January..
