Question: What would be the cost of an add that would give the school board 3 aides, similar in pay & benefits as our part-time council aides? Is there a mechanism for adding funding for such positions to the school budget in a way that wouldn’t allow the funds to be redirected? (Councilman Chapman, Councilman McPike)
Response:
City Council’s Administrative Aides earn $37,883 annually in salaries and benefits based on a historical assumption of a 20-hour work week and the availability of part-time benefits. City Council’s Administrative Aides do not earn retirement benefits. Using similar salary and benefits assumptions, the cost of three part-time Administrative Aides totals $113,648. Any funding added by City Council to the City’s Appropriation for Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) would fall under the expenditure oversight of the ACPS School Board.
