Our Priorities: To maintain our competitiveness Increase All Principals’ salary by $5,000 (16 Principals x $5,000 = $80,000 plus benefits...Approx: $100,000) Rationale: Our principals’ salaries vary from $55,000 to $75,000 and we need to be competitive with neighboring school systems Granville County Schools Nash-Rocky Mount Schools Johnston County Schools $55,980 - $82,275 $60,000 - $106,123.74 $70,000 - $115,000
Priorities Continue... 2. Increase Teachers’ salary by increasing returning bonus from $500 to $1,000 (600 certified employees x 500 = $300,000) Rationale: Teacher Base Salary Granville County Schools Pay 10% Supplement Nash-Rocky Mount Schools Pay 10% Supplement FCS pay 7% Supplement with $500 returning bonus Franklin County Schools Pay 7% Supplement (with $1,000 returning bonus) $35,000 $38,500 $38,200 $38,700 $40,000 $44,000 $43,300 $43,800 $45,000 $49,500 $48,650 $49,150
Priorities Continue... 3. We have a Fund Balance of $2,800,000 and we allocated $750,000 to meet our budgetary obligation. If this trend continues, we will deplete our fund balance in 3 years. Therefore, it is appropriate to ask county commissioners for an additional $500,000 so that we won’t deplete our fund balance. For the 3 priorities mentioned above: $100,000 + $300,000 + $500,000 = $900,000, in addition to last year’s request.
