Board Briefs from May 1, 2019 Special Business Meeting

This document includes highlights of information received by the Ladue Schools Board of Education at the May 1, 2019 Special Business Meeting. This is an unofficial record. Official minutes of each Board meeting are posted on the district website and are available for viewing at the Administrative Center after the Board approves them, typically two weeks after the meeting.


ACTION ITEM

Support Staff Salary Recommendations.  Dr. Jahnke presented, and the Board approved, the administration’s recommendation for support staff salary adjustments for the 2019-20 school year. As has been the case in recent years, ranges are determined for each position using comparison data from school districts in the area. Increase amounts are based on where an employee falls within the range, such that employees below the midpoint experience an acceleration towards the midpoint while increases for those above the midpoint are tempered. Details can be found by clicking on the heading for this paragraph.
