D-211 Authorizes Raises For Administrators

The District 211 school board authorized raises for administrators and voted the raises should be tied to performance evaluations.

The Township High School District 211 school board has authorized raises for administrators.

The school board voted 5-2 Thursday to allow money to be used for raises for administrators and management employess—about 60 individuals. The actual amount of the raises has yet to be determined and the raises will be tied to performance evaluations. School board members Bill Robertson and Anna Klimkowicz voted against the measure.

"I have a tremendous respect for all of our administrators," Robertson said. "But, given our current economic times I cannot support any salary increases [for administrators]."

The school board also voted unanimously to change the way administrators at the school district are evaluated.

In the past, raises were the same across the board regardless of performance. The school district is shifting to a performance-based system to determine salary increases.

"What we are looking at is having performance based raises that are tied to an administrator's evaluation," District 211 Superintendent Nancy Robb said.

Robb said the school board has approved the concept, but has not yet approved any specific raises. For example, Robb said that a salary increase range has not been approved or established by the school board.

"Basically what we have done is approved the plan we have not used the plan yet, so we'll have further discussions about the actual range and how that will work," Robb said.

District 211 includes Palatine and Fremd high schools.
