At the June 10 Anderson 3 Board of Trustees meeting, the board approved the proposed 2024-2025 General Fund budget. This year's budget provides several compensation increases to continue to provide competitive wages for our teachers and staff:
-Step Plus $2,500 Raise for Teachers
-Step Plus 4% Raise for Support Staff
-Step Plus 2% Raise for Administrative Staff
-2 Additional Steps for Teacher Salary Schedule (Maximum - 28 Years of Experience)
Additional highlights to this year's budget:
-3.0 FTE-Teachers from ESSER Funding - Starr, Starr-Iva, and Crescent (Due to Growth)
-2.0 FTE-Teachers at Flat Rock - 1st Grade and Special Education (Due to Growth)
-Position Reallocation - District Level Director Converted to District Mental Health Counselor
-Elementary After-School Program Budget - Dedicates this to the general fund, ensuring this program will continue regardless of federal funding.
It was a priority of the Board of Trustees to accomplish this year's budget while limiting the impact on taxpayers. There is no millage increase in this year's budget.
The Anderson 3 2024-2025 budget will be presented to the Anderson County Board of Education on June 27. The Anderson County Board of Education will vote to approve the budget on July 15.
