V. Instructional Assistant Salary Schedule Proposal
Mr. Ken Kippenbrock, Executive Director of Human Resources and Operations
Rationale

Schools have had a difficult time attracting and retaining viable applicants for the position of Instructional Assistant I and II. Market conditions were studied by examining surrounding school districts in the immediate area. We request the Covington Board of Education adopt the attached salary schedule for Instructional Assistants to help us attract and retain employees.

Changes include:

  • Multi-Media Assistant Column will be eliminated. The three impacted employees will be compensated in the Instructional Assistant I column.
  • Instructional Assistant I pay is competitive with surrounding districts years 1-11. Pay is increased and continues to advance each year through year 27 in this proposal.
  • Instructional Assistant II pay is adjusted to compete with surrounding districts years 1-27.
