Speaker(s):
Janet Wiles is in the audience to answer any questions
Attachments:
(
)
Rationale:
The U.S. Department of Labor has announced revisions to the Fair Labor Standards Act concerning salary thresholds for full-time salaried employees. The ruling increases the current salary level from $23,660 to $47,476 per year effective 12/1/16. This means anyone making less than $47,476 has to be compensated overtime for any time worked over 40 hours per week. Teachers are exempt from this requirement. Jeff Brock and Vicki Veatch currently make $46,556 per year or $920 less than the new threshold. At 28 hours of overtime, their salary would exceed the $47,476. If their pay was increased to the $47,476 effective December 1, the increased cost for the current fiscal year would be approximately $1,226.

Attachments:
(
)
Rationale:
Discussion:
During discussions of the Chapel Hill Lions Club Field House at Forrest School, the board agreed that the 25-year lease between the MCBOE and CH Lions Club should be terminated and a new lease agreement be drawn up to reflect a yearly agreement; this agreement would then be placed on the annual agenda for approval. Mr. Jones made a motion, with a second by Mr. Dippold to approve the proposed agreement, eliminating the second paragraph on #2. As discussions continued, the board determined that the removed paragraph (which indicates a sum for the use of the sports fields, etc.) should be a separate agreement. Mr. Jones withdrew his motion. The board agreed that the topic will be brought back during the November 14 board meeting, during which the board will vote on two separate agreements: one that will transfer ownership of the Field House to the school system, and the other that will allow the school system to lease the athletic fields currently owned by the Chapel Hill Lions Club. |
