During the school board meeting on Monday, June 27, Superintendent Dr. Carol Maher recommended increasing the salary for these positions at $1 per hour, which will be an additional increase of $21,096 to the expense budget for the 2022-23 school year.

The recommended salaries were: Nurses – large building beginning at $16.37/hour; small building beginning at $15.80/hour; P.A.T. beginning at $15.47/hour; and Technology Specialist – beginning at $16.35/hour.
