Dorchester Two Teachers to Receive Raises

Dorchester Two employees could see as much as a four percent raise as early as July, the Journal Scene reported.

The announcement came during Monday's regular meeting of the school board.

The Journal Scene reports:

(District Chief Financial Officer Allyson) Duke reported to the board that the S.C. General Assembly is still debating the final state budget, however, the legislature is recommending a two percent increase for teachers statewide, which will be added to an increase already approved by the board for the 2012-2013 budget.

“What this basically means is that everyone will be receiving a three percent increase while teachers with a step will get a four percent increase,” she said. “The only question is when we will actually be able to implement it.”
