The Northumberland Board of Supervisors held a special called meeting on April 25, 2025, to address several key issues affecting the community. The meeting began with a clarification regarding a former school employee, Donna Booth, who has been retired for several years. A board member emphasized the need to distinguish between her and any current issues, as there had been confusion among the public. The member expressed concern that Ms. Booth had received unwarranted inquiries and urged both the Board of Supervisors and the school system to ensure clear communication moving forward.

Following this discussion, the board turned its attention to the topic of teacher salaries. A request was made for a comprehensive report detailing current salaries, stipends, and the overall pay scale for teachers in the school system. The board member requested that the information be organized to provide a clear view of how funds are allocated for teacher compensation. The school representative confirmed that the data would be compiled and presented in a manner that distinguishes between main salaries and supplemental payments.

The meeting concluded with an agreement to provide the requested salary information, ensuring that the board members would have a clearer understanding of the financial commitments related to teacher salaries. The board expressed appreciation for the efforts to gather this information and wished each other a good weekend as the meeting adjourned.
