Board sets new teacher pay schedule with $46,000 starting salary

What happened

On Aug. 12 the board approved a new certified staff salary schedule: $46,000 to start, a $2,000 yearly raise, a cap at $88,000 then $1,000 a year, and a final cap of $100,000 then a $1,000 stipend. Raises are tied to teacher performance evaluations.

Why it matters to families

Teacher pay is the largest part of a small district budget, and the new schedule changes how raises work for current teachers, who are placed on an "initial placement" schedule.
