  N. Updates to Maximum Salary Range Amount Michael Garman
   

The Human Resources (HR) department seeks to update the maximum salary for fifteen (15) job titles on the Instructional Salary Structure, the 12-month Tier 1, 10-month Tier 2, and the Tier 1 Manager maximum salary. Additionally, the HR department seeks to revise the Executive and CEO salary ranges and reduce the IT salary structure from four to three tiers. These changes do not change or revise current staff salaries. The reason for these changes is to reduce compression at the top end of the ranges and expand compa-ratio/range penetration results. The CEO approved these revisions and reviewed the details of these changes with the Finance committee of the Board. The final action before implementing these changes is to make the full Board aware.
