PCSD 25 Special Meeting: Ratify Negotiated Agreement & Set Compensation for Classified/Admin 5.21.26

This special meeting of the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 Board of Trustees on May 21, 2026, focused primarily on ratifying the negotiated agreement with the Pocatello Education Association for the 2026-2027 school year and setting compensation levels for classified employees, classified administrators, and district administrators including the superintendent. The board approved the negotiated agreement with a minor correction regarding personal leave and flex time usage. They then discussed and voted to set one-time stipend compensation levels for classified staff and classified administrators, increasing the proposed amounts to $700, $850, and $1,000 for different employee groups, with a total additional cost of approximately $38,125 funded through the district's supplemental levy. Similarly, a $1,000 one-time stipend was approved for top-level administrators. The meeting also addressed the acceptance of a trustee resignation, declared a vacancy, and set a timeline for accepting applications and interviewing candidates to fill the trustee seat. The board scheduled interviews for late June and planned to seat the new trustee at the July regular meeting. No other procurement or contracting matters were discussed.
