Preston County cooks win five percent wage raise
An investigation into a West Virginia wage law prompted Preston County to grant a 5% raise to school lunch cooks. The increase, approved by the School Board on Oct. 25, will take effect after Nov. 15 when the wage price freeze ends. Cooks now earn $1.60 hourly. The move followed pressure from Mrs. Elda Courtney and reminders of prior raises for other staff. Deputy state officials and the state superintendent were involved in reviewing the omission from the broader raise approved earlier in the year.
