Taos teachers lose raise funds to other district needs
Taos Municipal School District used state money intended for teacher raises on other items due to budget crunch. Business manager Gilbert Mondragon said the legislature did not require keeping funds for raises, and retirements plus charter-school enrollment reduced Teacher and Experience funds by about $140,000 from last year. Local officials including Fred Waltz and Betsy Roth had raised the issue during meetings and retreats. William Maxwell can be reached at 758 2241 ext 122 or wmaxwell taosnews.com.
