The new pay scale will not lower the pay of any school nurse currently employed with RCS. Vice Chair Tiffany Johnson made the motion to amend the pay scale to include more LPN support and allow the four nurses enrolled in an additional degree programs to be eligible for the pay step-up regardless of the July deadline. âI donât want to undermine the role of our nurses at all, and I want our nurses to be encouraged and feel encouraged,â said Johnson. Board members Claire Maxwell, Lisa Moore and Tammy Sharpe voted ânoâ. Moore read from a collection of emails sent by the districtâs school nurses, several of whom described the pivotal roles they play in schools and the frustrations of the pay scale change.
