Salaries, Alternative School and iMacs on School Board Agenda

The North Judson-San Pierre School Board will discuss employee salaries when they meet tonight. The advance agenda for their 7 p.m. meeting includes consideration of the non-certified salary schedule for the upcoming academic year. Additionally they will discuss compensation for non-instructional salaried employees, administrative salaries and the superintendent’s contract.

The board will also act on a secondary agreement with Crossing National, Inc. The faith-based alternative school offers students who have struggled in a more traditional high school setting an opportunity to complete school while learning job skills.

Officials with The Crossing recently announced they are closing their Knox location and sending students to Plymouth, due to declining local enrollment. When the school first opened locally, their contracts with area school corporations guaranteed them a set number of students each year. Secondary agreements like the one on tonight’s N.J.-S.P. agenda mean the corporation only pays for the number of students who attend.

The N.J.-S.P. School Board will also discuss participation in Title 1 during the upcoming school year, as well as an Apple lease agreement and the purchase of iMac computers.

They will also set a date, time and place for their reorganization meeting. Tonight’s session will take place in the central office board meeting room.
