Teacher Raise Versus Tax Hike Over District Budget
School trustees and Supt. George H. Gentry discuss pay raises for teachers that would require a nearly 15 cent rise in the school tax rate. A $5000 pay increase would push costs to about 400,000, with state funds declining due to wealth-based allocations. Over 80 percent of operating funds go to employee pay, leaving under 20 percent for maintenance transportation and supplies as property valuations are watched.
