Austin School Board Approves Salary Increases and Personnel Changes
The Austin School Board approved salary hikes for eight confidential secretaries averaging 9.8 percent, with one amendment for a further raise. It adopted Title I funds, a teaching agreement with Mankato State College, and district league membership, and revised policy tying pay increments to contract settlements. They rescinded the grievance policy for teachers not in the unit and raised substitute pay from six dollars hourly to thirty per day. Resignations, new contracts for teachers, and a leave were approved. The board discussed hiring a self contained hearing impaired teacher, weighed participation in the Quality Beef program, and debated transferring Webster School title to the city while seeking appraisers for Oakland and Whittier properties. Projected foundation aid changes for next year were negative, with a potential rise the following year. The organizational meeting for the new Austin School Board set for July 1 with three new members.
