Eight Thousand School Employees to Get Pay Raise
Nearly 8,000 employees of the board of education are slated for a salary increase. The board plans raises of about 10 to 15 percent for those earning $1,500 or less, while higher paid staff may be affected by adjustments. Finance officials say the district’s situation is not as dire as the city’s, and a budget readjustment could aid funds. The legislature may be asked to shift building and educational funds to cover losses. The finance committee may meet Thursday to resume budget talks.
