B.=         2006-2007 Salary Proposal

 

The administration requested authorization to pay an additional 3% salary incre= ase to employees not covered by the negotiated agreement with teachers and certified personnel.  This is = the same percentage increase approved for employees covered by the PN Agreement.  =

 

The increase would involve aides, child nutrition workers, custodians, administ= rators, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and employees who are placed on the AN salary schedule.  Other employee groups will be invo= lved in negotiations or meet-and-confer discussions and will be presented as soo= n as negotiations are complete.  Mr= . Berkley moved to = approve the administration’s recommendation; Mr. Brock seconded the motion an= d it carried 6-0. 

 

Mr. Rose asked that the administration work out a better way of paying the empl= oyees who earn the lowest salaries.  Mr. Kurrus agreed, stating that paying percentage raises only widens the gap between the highest and lowest paid employees.  He suggested that the step increme= nts be eliminated from administrators’ salary schedules and that raises be b= ased on objective performance criteria.  <= /span>
