Consider Classified Staff Salary Raises
(Information Handed Out at the Meeting)
At the meeting after discussion in executive session, the board will be asked to consider classified staff salaries for 2017-
18. I will have a list of the salaries with projections of 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 % increases for board review. This process is
another transition learning process for Mr. Finley as the board prepares to increase salaries for our support staff for next
year.
Motion: I recommend that the support staff be given a ____ % raise for the 2017-18 school year beginning in
September as presented to the board of education.
