At Fort Osage School District we have dedicated employees who are truly making a difference in the lives of students. I value our staff and I know our school district and students would not be successful without you. It’s important that Fort Osage recruit and retain staff. There are many factors that determine the recruitment and retention of employees including salaries and benefits. It’s crucial to remain competitive among area school districts. Over the past few months, our Human Resources team conducted a thorough salary study in order to determine areas where our scales may be in need of enhancements. Three specific areas were analyzed this year: classified salaries, certificated salaries, and health care benefits. We hired EMS (Educational Management Solutions) to complete our classified salary study and consult on our certificated study. Fourteen area districts were used in our study for all three studies. Private sector data (Centerpoint, Hospital, Food Service Industry, Trucking Companies, etc.) were also included in the classified salary study. We began the study by finding the “Market Value” for different salary placements (both on our certificated and classified scales). We then calculate Fort Osage’s relationship to the market value and if we are within 5% of the market value, that is considered on market. We also identified areas we were below or above market. This study provided guidance on necessary next steps. We are working to prepare recommendations for an enhanced classified and certificated salary schedule for the June Board meeting. Once those recommendations are finalized, more information will be shared. The information explained above is being emailed to staff with a video providing more detail. Comments are closed.
