The Human Resources (HR) department seeks to create a separate salary range for COTA on the instructional salary structure. Additionally, the HR department seeks to increase the maximum salary of the OT salary range. The reason for these changes is to correct a recently discovered existing inequity that exists between the COTA salary range and the OT salary range. The CEO reviewed the details of these changes and approved the actions to correct the inequity. The final action before implementing these changes is to make the Board aware.
