The Durham School Board has voted on Thursday to maintain 11% increment for certified employees for the remaining part of the school year.
This decision comes after more than a month debate about the ongoing pay issues of the district.
After more than a month, Durham Public Schools are expected to take a decision on Thursday about the ongoing pay issues of the district.
The members of Durham Public School Board of Education plans to discuss and discuss how much will be paid to their classified employees.
The board has weighed the first four options, but only two tables.
Option 1 involves an 11% increase of 11%, and option 2 involves an increase of 15%.
While the option is covered in 1 budget. Option 2 is more than the budget $ 2 million.
Both end salary studies and restore heritage steps, which means credits for external experience, including private practice.
Durham Public School employees have protested, and a four -day school has been canceled on the issue.
Many employees do not like any of the options under consideration.
The board heard from Kerry Crutchfield, the controller of the new work of the district, which he has found in the budget, has found.
Crutfield’s report states that the salary was an important lapse in the study and applying it was like putting a square peg in a round hole. He recommends option 1.
After a permanent scheme is implemented, the district can implement the reduction in salary in future.
