Yesterday's Unit 4 School Board meeting approved dozens of administrative raises and construction contracts. From the News-Gazette this morning:
Champaign school board approves raises for 75 administratorsFull article here.
Seventy-five Unit 4 administrators have been awarded raises of 3 or 4 percent for meeting district goals.
The school board approved the raises Monday evening after striking them from its Jan. 14 agenda at the last minute...
Administrators in a higher position on the district's pay scale will get raises capped at 3 percent. Officials said that reflects the amount the district can safely give someone who may be nearing retirement. A law signed last year by then-Gov. Bruce Rauner financially penalizes districts that award "end-of-career" raises higher than 3 percent.
Administrators who aren't close to that cutoff point got a 4 percent increase...
In other news, the board approved 11 construction contracts related to the renovation and expansion of South Side Elementary School and other referendum projects.
Bid for the packages offered "came in significantly above estimates," according to district documents, with most of the overages "concentrated in the general trades, roofing, electrical and low-voltage bid packages."
