Negotiations Discussion – Marjean McConnell Mrs. McConnell stated that they had negotiated with the Bonneville Education Association and they understand the Board’s position. There were a few language changes negotiated. We added a better definition of planning time. Agreed on a 1% increase in the base salary and the District will absorb the insurance increase of 4%. Steps and lanes will be awarded and the stipend agreement will be restored. No new language was added to the Master agreement. Mrs. McConnell is also recommending that administration and classified be given 1% base salary increase, insurance payment, and movement on salary grid. She stated that it is good that Randy Bohannan is available during negotiations. He has a good perspective. We will work continuously on communicating with the BEA regarding Board policy and other issues at their monthly meetings. We will distribute $485,000 in leadership premiums next year. These are not negotiated but, we talked as a leadership committee about who should receive these moneys. There are people who have been performing leadership duties for many years without a stipend. We took team leaders and department heads out of the stipend agreement and put them into leadership premiums. We will have job descriptions covering the leadership positions and people will be appointed by the principals. Right now, we are current with regard to stipends as well as steps and lanes. If the legislature doesn’t fund leadership positions, they will go away. These will be different from year to year. II. Personnel Issues – Shalene French Dr. French informed the Board that Employee D14 was placed on paid leave and suspended because of an incident at the school. The individual was placed on leave until the principal was available. The principal will work with the individual on classroom management and will monitor closely during the next year. Dr. French is not recommending probation at this time. III.
