District, teachers edge closer on salary figures
Lawrence school board and Lawrence Education Assn after three hours of talks remain divided over salary scales. Board proposes 6.37 percent more for salaries and benefits and raises base pay to 20 203 with a three day calendar extension. LEA seeks 13.75 percent more and a base of 21 465, with calendar change not tied to the raise per its spokesman. Superintendent Neuenswander notes state law requires three extra student days beyond the 180, with district likely already meeting it.

School board Grapples With Salary Increase Options
NEUENSWANDER said state aid cuts left the district unable to raise salaries without a higher local property tax levy. Rabiola noted the district could add up to 7.4 mills to generate 2.9 million, while state aid would rise with higher local levies, risking loss of local option funds. The board would need to use more than half of the local spending option to cover raises for classified staff principals and administrators.
