MASON CITY – The Mason City School Board will meet Monday night to talk about a project for a new gymnasium and swimming pool, then consider raises for 3 administrators that would put the total compensation for 5 employees in the so-called “administration cabinet” above $800,000.
The Mason City School Board will meet Monday night starting at 5:30 PM at the Education Administrative Center Board Room. The main item on the agenda for action is a consideration for raises for certain employees. A list of district administrators (Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Director of Special Education and Student Services and Human Resources Director) and the 2019-2020 base salary (2% increase approved for this group at 5/20/19 Board meeting) will be presented for Board approval.
Three employees will get a 2% compensation increase:
Two other employees who make up the “administration cabinet” as a school document calls it, are already approved for raises after a May 20, 2019 meeting: David Versteeg ($175,950 increased to $188,900) and Cheri Yoder ($86,487.50 t0 $106,688).
The total compensation for these 5 employees is $848,580.98. This includes salary, IPERS, life insurance policies, phone bills and other perks.
Project for a gymnasium and pool at the High School complex appears to be moving forward. Representatives from Bergland + Cram Architects will attend the meeting and facilitate a discussion with the Board about the planning process for the design work for the proposed auxiliary gym/swimming pool project. After committees complete a planning process over an indeterminate amount of time, the Board of Directors at a future meeting will approve final study findings and preliminary budget to advance project scope toward a funding plan with a possible public vote in September of 2020.
