Classified staff at Salina Public Schools are often paid above local market standards, but the district can do more to support staff like paraeducators and administrative support, a recent study reveals. This year, the district consulted an outside company, Educational Management Solutions (EMS), for a thorough review of Salina Schools’ classified salary schedule and compensation data for each of its classified positions. It found that while most staff are paid at and above market rates, some salaries have remained stagnant. … “(The study) was to give us some feedback and tell us (if) our placement on our salary schedule is comparable for other school districts and within our local market,” said Eryn Wright, executive director of human resources and legal services at USD 305.
