The school board in neighboring Casey County unanimously approved a 4 percent pay raise for teachers and other school staff at a board meeting earlier this week.
All teachers and certified employees will receive a 4% pay raise. All classified employees, such as bus drivers, cooks, and janitors will also get a 4% pay raise, and several classified staff members will receive a $2/hour increase on top of the 4 percent.
Casey County Schools Superintendent Barry Lee said the pay raises were deserved and also were crucial for Casey County schools to continue to attract the best teachers and staff.
