SCOTT COUNTY TEACHERS WILL GET 3 PERCENT PAY RAISE, NOT 5 PERCENT

The Scott County Board of Supervisors have approved the budget, but it does not include a 5 percent pay increase for teachers. The board voted on Wednesday to approve the budget that includes a 3 percent pay raise in the budget. Teachers had been expecting a 5 percent pay raise, but earlier this month the board voted 5-1 against it due to lack of funds.
