The committee then brings the salary to the board of trustees (school board) who vote on the salary. To determine the salary of other employees the director makes a recommendation to the personnel committee for agreement. The personnel committee then brings the employee salaries to the board of trustees to vote on. The personnel committee annually compares the salaries of surrounding school districts to the salaries of the academy for science and design's faculty and staff. The director and business manager also use these comparisons when setting the salaries of new hires.”
