Moravia Board Adopts 6600 Salary Base for Teachers
Moravia Community School District board voted to set the base salary at $6,600 for the coming term, a $100 raise from last year, with an estimated $14,000 rise in teachers’ salaries and about $28,000 more in the budget due to state actions. Additional costs include bus increases, supplies, insurance, a new elementary roof, and expanded programs. The board also added extra salaries for activities and debated two days of personal leave, delaying that request. The next regular meeting is in March.
