West Carrollton school administrators and central office staff will get salary increases.
Those receiving raises include two longtime administrators being retained years after their retirements.
The contracts and salary schedules unanimously approved by the district’s board of education this week call for 1.5-percent increases the first year and 2-percent hikes in the second year, said West Carrollton Superintendent Rusty Clifford.
The board’s votes addressed 20 administrator and 27 central office support staff positions, records show.
The move gave new contracts to two administrators, Assistant Superintendent Larry Campbell and Schnell Elementary Principal Barbara Gardecki. Both retired from the district years ago but were later rehired and will be retained for another year, Clifford said.
“Each district has a unique perspective and each board has a unique perspective, and it’s a hot spot for some people,” he said of the retire/rehire issue.
Clifford noted a number of factors went into the decisions, and a key one was that both “have a lot of institutional knowledge, and they both do a phenomenal job.”
Campbell’s contract will give him an annually salary of $121,118 effective Aug. 1 while Gardecki’s deal is for an annual salary of $107,891 effective July 1, according to district records.
The board’s action, Clifford said, means that all of the district’s contractual employees except for himself and Treasurer Ryan Slone have reached a deal with the district.
Two employee unions, representing about 460 workers, agreed last month on contracts that call for the same percentage increases as administrators and central office support staff.
The West Carrollton Education Association and the West Carrollton Classified Employees Association both agreed last month on a four-year contract in language and on two years for wage increases, Clifford said.
The WCEA consists of about 280 members, while the classified employees group represents about 180 members, he said.
Salaries, wages and benefits account for about 80 percent of the district’s $38.5 million general fund budget, Slone said.
