DEXTER – SAD 46 directors approved $1,104,701.75 last week for compensation for nonunion represented employees for 2008-2009. The vote was 8-2 with Al Ross and Barbara Wakefield voting in opposition.

Nonrepresented employees include all employees not under a union contract, Superintendent Kevin Jordan said this week. That includes principals, directors, food service, maintenance, the transportation director, technology employees and the superintendent’s salary. Contracts will be submitted to these individuals next week, according to Jordan.

Jordan said the board is negotiating with the unions representing the SAD 46 Teachers Association, bus drivers and custodians. A contract with the support staff was settled earlier.
