Administrators Receive Pay Raise

By Jon A. Brake

The School District doesn’t have any money, the school district doesn’t have any money, the school district doesn’t have any money. If you say that enough people will start thinking it is true. It is not.

The School District has $10 million in savings, all most as much as Hutchinson and Junction City together.

On Wednesday, August 21 the School Board went into Executive Session to discuss "Personnel matter of non-elected personnel in order to protect the privacy interests of the individual." That was at 10:45 p.m., when the came out at 11:47 the School Board approved Superintendent Little’s Classified and Administrative salary increase. The increase ran from zero percent to twenty-percent.

Dr. Little told the Board: "I personally will not take a salary increase this year and would add the equivalent funds to the pool." Dr. Little salary is $147,200.00.

She told the Board, "This year I wanted to approach the administrative salary recommendation with a pool. I have created that pool by not filling the second Associate Superintendent position. That salary was designated for other purposes except for $20,000. The 1.5% increase for administrators equals $27,532. In addition, $8,500 came form the Special Education line.

Here is a list of the administrators receiving a pay increase:
