During the Feb. 17 Judson ISD board of trustees meeting, discussion was made to increase employment compensation and set the compensation for summer school employees.
This amendment to the 2021-22 compensation plan changed pay for 19 positions, 11 of which are for summer school specifically.
Superintendent Jeanette Ball explained the district needs to raise certain positions to a new pay grade to have competitive pay and encourage employment in otherwise difficult-to-fill roles. Among these positions are a plumber position and several senior clerk positions.
“One of the things that our district is needing is a plumber journeyman,” Ball said. “So, we are looking at taking this to a different pay grade to be able to fill this position. Plumber positions are something that have been difficult to fill.”
