Consent Agenda Subject : 8.14 Revised Administrative Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year 2020-2021, presented by Rita R. Scallan, Chief Financial Officer, and recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Jun 14, 2021 - Regular Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Preferred Date : Jun 14, 2021 Absolute Date : Jun 14, 2021 Fiscal Impact : No Budgeted : Yes Budget Source : General Fund Recommended Action : Motion to approve Revised Administrative Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. Public Content The Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Revised Administrative Salary Schedule is being presented for approval. The revisions are as follows: Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Experience Credit The maximum experience an administrative position is allowed to receive credit for on the Administrative Salary Schedule is ten (10) years. The requested revision will allow the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) position to receive experience credit on the salary schedule for all years of applicable experience. This request would potentially increase the pool of qualified applicants for the position. School Administrator Salary Schedule (Pay for Performance) transition to District Level Administrator (Grandfathered Schedule) Employees who receive promotions to positions within their current salary schedule are moved to the new position pay grade at their current step. This is not possible when a school administrator moves from the "Pay for Performance" salary schedule to the "Grandfathered" salary schedule as school administrators are no longer on steps. In addition, if a school administrator has been on "Pay for Performance" for several years, he/she may currently be paid more than the top step of the "Grandfathered" salary schedule. The proposed language provides a method of calculating the salary for these individuals. The school administrator will be transitioned to the lowest step which reflects an increase in pay. If the individual's current "Pay for Performance" salary is greater than the top step of the new pay grade, the individual will retain his/her current salary and receive an increase equivalent to the increment between step 15 and step 16 on the "Grandfathered" salary schedule. The individual will then only receive pay increases if an annual adjustment or cost of living increase is granted to the "Grandfathered" salary schedule. This revision will allow for consistency of salary schedule transitions related to the Administrative "Grandfathered" Salary Schedule.
