The proposed increases are tentative based on the Clayton County Board of Education’s final approval on next year’s budget.
“This proposed action directly aligns with our efforts to create and maintain a positive working environment that increases academic achievement,” said Dr. Smith.
The district is also proposing the “Every Day Counts” attendance incentive.
Employees can get as much as $1,250 per semester for having good or perfect attendance.
