Consider Offering a Stipend to Staff for Early Return of 2023-2024 Contracts.
The Board discussed offering a retention payment for staff that turn their 23-24 contracts/letters of assignment in within 5 school days of them being sent. Board secretary/treasurer Nicole McCarville gave some budget information on possible categorical balances/funds that could be used to pay for the stipend. The board considered a stipend amount of $250 and $500 and the different categories of staff to include. Duane Horsley motioned to provide a $500 retention bonus for returning staff that turn in their contracts/letters of assignment within 5 school days of them being sent out and including all full-time or regularly scheduled staff (excluding non-staff coaches/sponsors, substitutes, and others not regularly scheduled) which would be a maximum cost of $133,500 if all eligible staff met the timeline. Kristen Lundstrom seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
Adjournment – Duane Horsley moved and Kristen Lundstrom seconded to adjourn at 12:21 p.m. with unanimous approval.
