It was presented during the meeting to increase the pay for associates, secretaries, bus drivers, custodians, and nutrition workers by $1.00 per hour. This wage increase will be applied to the 60 positions currently employed for the district and will include an increase to FICA, IPERS, and benefits offered. The year-round or salaried position contracts and the principals will also see an increase to their wages and benefits package next year by 3.3%.
