FLOYD COUNTY, Ga. — The Floyd County Board of Education approved a salary increase and bonus for school system employees last week.
The starting salary for a teacher will increase from $47,297 to $47,921.
The raise for classified personnel, non-teaching staff, is a 1.5% increase.
Superintendent Glenn White said the raises became a priority when he saw how much more the neighboring school systems are paying their employees.
