The Jamesport Tri-County R-7 Board of Education updated the certified salary schedule and daycare rates at a special meeting on August 25th. The board also set the tax rate.
Superintendent David Probasco reports paraprofessionals who work with a specific group of students will receive an extra $2.00 per hour. Daycare rates increased due to inflationary costs. There are a variety of rates based on age and time at the daycare.
The tax rate was set at $4.6259 in total. That includes a $.25 temporary levy. This year’s total tax rate is an increase of $.2989 from last year. Probasco notes the board rolled back the levy by $.25 last year.
The board declared two older school buses as surplus property.
There are no announcements at this time from an executive session for personnel.
