SALARY
From Page 1-A
"I don't think the board would
have even entertained this idea if
local money was involved but 1
think it speaks well for our board
because they are sending a mes-
sage that school workers are ap-
preciated," he said during
Monday's board meeting.
For several months the Board
of Education has been discussing
the improvement of administrative
and non-certified supplements in
the system and ‘more: discussion
took place at the annual board
Advance, according to Chairman
B. S. Peeler.
Under the non-certified plan
McRae said that all non-certified
employees who have not been in
the system long enough’ to receive
a supplement previously will start
at Step O. All other non-certified
employees will start at Step 2.
Persons hired in the future will be-
gin on the non-certified supple-
ment scale at Step O. Employees
will move up the scale based on
their years of service. Yearly in-
creases will be provided if funds
are available. If years occur where
increases can't be provided, em-
ployees will be frozen at the previ-
ous year's step until funds allow
movement upward. The payment
would be made at end of the year
but the increases are effective with
the beginning of this year.
Everyone affected by the new
Administrative plan will begin at
Year I, according to McRae. Yearly
increases are anticipated but de-
pend on available funds. New em-
ployees in such positions will be-
gin at the Year 1 amount for their
position.
McRae said the scale replaces
the former scale which paid a’ set
amount plus the teacher supple-
ment to which an administrator
wononld ha antitlad
