Kanawha County Eyes $250 Starting Salary Increase
A committee of principals and teachers urged the Kanawha County Board of Education last night to raise starting salaries by 250 dollars to attract young teachers. The plan would cost 136,272 dollars annually and target beginners with bachelor's degrees, with a nine month year setting the base at 3 285. Dr. Meredith Parry, assistant superintendent, said the county must eventually reach 3 600 to compete with neighboring states. He noted the system faces an aging staff, with two thirds over ten years’ service. The board was asked to consider upward salary adjustments as funds become available.
