School board members will face a rather long agenda when they convene their regular monthly meeting at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 3, at the Instructional Center, 111 Courville Street in Breaux Bridge.
One of the first items will be to honor the outstanding school support personnel of the year.
Another major item of business will be the expected adoption of a series of recommendations made late last month by the board’s finance committee that includes making current scheduled sales tax pay supplements ($6,500 for professionals and $5,080 for paraprofessionals) a permanent part of the salary schedule, along with adding new supplements of $1,000 for professionals and $715 for paraprofessionals.
Also to be considered are the acceptance of the June 30 general fund, group health fund, workers compensation fund, debt service fund and capital projects funds balance sheets.
Other financial issues include receiving public input on the adoption of general fund and special revenue fund budgets for the 2008-09 fiscal year, and adoption of millage rates for the tax year 2008.
