Human Resources Recommendations Subject : 8.3 Proposed Revision to Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Salary Schedule for Professional/Technical Personnel presented by Lee Hale, Assistant  Superintendent - Human Resources, and recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Mar 10, 2025 - Workshop Meeting Type : Action Recommended Action : Motion to approved revised Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Salary Schedules for Professional/Technical Personnel. Public Content The Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Salary Schedule for Professional/Technical personnel was approved on September 23, 2024. The Professional/Technical Salary Schedule is unique in that Pay Grades 1 and 2 are paid in the same manner as Administrative personnel and Pay Grades 3, 4, and 5 are paid in the same manner as Education Staff Professionals. The Superintendent is recommending that this salary schedule be split into two salary schedules: Professional/Technical #1 (Pay Grades 1 and 2) and Professional/Technical #2 (Pay Grades 3, 4, and 5). When the Administrative and Managerial Salary Schedules were approved in September, they each included a provision that would allow employees promoted to these schedules to be placed on the salary schedule in the appropriate pay grade at the lowest step which reflects an increase in pay then receive an additional three steps. The Superintendent is recommending that employees upon promotion to the Professional/Technical Salary Schedule also receive an additional three steps. These recommended changes will be effective July 1, 2024.
