Significant Salary Increases Announced for Teachers and Other Employee Groups
Significant Salary Increases Announced for Teachers and Other Employee Groups
January 4, 2021
To directly address the district goal of attracting and retaining quality staff, a 6% retroactive salary increase for professional educators and preschool staff was approved — meaning these employees received a lump sum payment in January 2021 for the first six months of the school year and moved to the new salary schedule on January 01, 2021. At the same time, paraprofessionals/teacher aides and health clerks received hourly pay increases and were given the opportunity to work full time with benefits (if desired). This change equates to a 14.42% increase. Board members expressed their gratitude to the community for recognizing the importance of our educators, particularly in this unprecedented year of online and hybrid teaching. “The ability to approve these well-deserved pay corrections for our valued educators will be a bright spot in 2020,” said Jeremy Scott, School Board Treasurer.
Additional Weld RE-5J employee groups received pay increases beginning January 01, 2021 as part of the salary corrections as follows: licensed transportation staff 10.66% and secretaries and library aides 17.78%.
"The passing of 5A and 5B this past November has created a lot of excitement in our school district and community! We were able to look at all of our employee groups and compare their current salary position against most of the northern Colorado school districts. This salary correction now puts our growing and expanding school district in the top third of school districts surrounding us," said Leslie Arnold, Superintendent.
