Billings budget panel rejects superintendent pay raise plan

Billings, Montana — A Billings school budget committee declined to recommend a contract proposal that would have sharply raised Superintendent Erwin Garcia's pay Thursday, Nov. 12. The proposal would have raised Garcia's base salary from about $217,000 to $270,000. With another $20,000 in annual compensation, his pay would have reached $290,000 before other benefits. The plan also included keeping Garcia in the job through June 2030. Critics questioned the size of the increase and raised concerns about fairness to other employees and the district's spending priorities. In the written proposal, the board said keeping Garcia would provide stable leadership and help the district stay competitive when hiring administrators. One school employee said the proposal sent a message to staff. "I don't say that I love my job anymore. I don't say it because decisions like this make me feel like this district doesn't care very much about me, and it's really hard to love a place like that," said Beth Verlanic, secretary at Burlington Elementary School. A retired school employee said the debate looked familiar. "This is what happens. Failed levee, angry staff. Repeat, repeat, repeat. If this were a class, we'd be figuring out a different way to run
