The Charleston County School District’s proposed budget for next school year won’t raise taxes or furlough teachers, but it does include cuts that will affect employees.
With the exception of teachers, every district employee will be furloughed next year, and no employee will receive a cost-of-living increase or salary hike for additional years of experience.
The school board approved on Thursday the first reading of its proposed $332.1 million operating budget, which is about $2.6 million more than this year. That budget covers classroom expenses, and the board voted 7-2 for it.
For those of us who are not from the USA what does this mean? “With the exception of teachers, every district employee will be furloughed next year”
… we don’t “furlough” people over here (in NZ) so it makes no sense.
