The Pella School Board approved the teacher leadership and compensation plan for the next academic year at their meeting Monday.

They reviewed the budget and approved changes to the plan for 2018-19. The board also discussed how to recruit more bus drivers, as the district has experienced a shortage in availability, and approved the salary schedule for those drivers, as well as instructional associates and substitute teachers. The board also held second reading of the 700 Board Policies in the district handbook.
