Q: Why doesn’t $926 add up to 4.05%?

Answer: The 4.05 % represents the total package including Lane and Step advancements, insurance increase and new money on the base.

Q In the TLS Grant is made reference to the base of  $33,500  So why isn’t out new base $33,500 ?

Answer: In order to qualify for the TLC Grant all school district had to agree that some of the TLC grant money will be used to boost all teachers’ salaries that are below $ 33,500 up to $33,500.  The grant money is only used to boost all to $33,500 some districts that are above $33,500 didn’t have too, and some had to use a lot more than us, of course the rest of the grant will go toward leadership positions.  So those new teachers that are below $33,500 will get $33,500 until they reach it by lane and step.
