SCUCISD board of trustees modify compensation plans for 2022-23 school year SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-UNIVERSAL CITY ISD The board of trustees for Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD voted 6-0 in favor of a resolution to pay employees for Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, when schools closed for emergency weather conditions. The days will not be made up during the school year, Chief Human Resources Officer Linda Cannon reported to trustees at a called meeting Feb. 14. BY TRICIA SCHWENNESEN 2022-23 COMPENSATION PLAN MODIFICATIONS The Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD board of trustees approved several changes to the compensation plan at its Feb. 14 and Feb. 21 meetings. Employee pay for two emergency weather days district once their annual contract expires, Cannon said. “March 23 would be the deadline for notice so that we could go out and try to hire for those positions early,” she said.
Cannon went on to make a request of trustees to modify the compensation plans for the 2022- 23 school year so the district can also hire two current employees to coordinate bilingual edu- cation and special education during the Summer Learning program. Pay for each position will be a flat rate of $2,500, she said. Trustees took up the discussion again in execu- tive session at the board’s Feb. 21 meeting, where they later voted 7-0 to approve the modification to pay for the summer positions.
$500 incentive for early notification of resignation
Cannon also recommended a modification that would allow the district to pay $500 to anyone resigning at the end of the school year with early notice. The incentive pay is meant to encourage employees to provide notice no later than March 23 if they do not intend to stay with the
$2,500 each for two coordinator positions tied to the Summer Learning program
