The Eau Claire Area School District is now trying to piece together a new compensation system for its employees.

Members of the district's budget development committee met today to start hammering out details for a pay plan focused on recruiting and retaining employees. The discussion today covered issues regarding how to structure the new pay scale as well as setting up ways for the district to compensate its teachers.

"This is a major change for the board and big decision for the board, because just to transition from an old salary schedule to a new salary schedule is $2 million," Abby Johnson, acting director for ECASD business services , said to WEAU 13 News on Wednesday. "When you put it in perspective, our budget is approximately $150 million. So, $2 million is a little bit of that budget."

The compensation system is set to take effect July 1st. Discussion will also continue at the next school board meeting on June 6th.

The Eau Claire Board of Education is currently in the process of determining if a referendum is in the best interest of the Eau Claire Area School District for the 2016-2017 year.  The board has been talking about it for almost one year now.  I will use this as a place for people to put ideas of what a referendum could include for Eau Claire.
