School Board Proposes Pay Raises For All Employees

SNOW HILL -- The Worcester County Board of Education is proposing a FY2014 operating budget that would include salary increases for all employees, funding to replace grant money that supports After School Programs and additional funding for technology.

The proposed budget includes a step increase for all eligible employees as well as a 1-percent Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for all employees to “begin restoring stagnant wages,” according to a memo from Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson. Additionally, there would be an estimated 5-percent increase in health insurance rates.

“We have a strong desire to maintain and support our outstanding classroom teachers and staff who do a great job every day working with our students,” Wilson said.

Superintendent of Worcester has a great reputation for honesty, just like Dr. Andes did. Both accept responsibility for what they direct staff to do. I imagine many from a neighboring county will apply there, not for the 1% but for the ethical leadership.

My pay went from $60k with benefits to $8,000 without bennies. I hope they can look me in the face without getting theirs punched out.
