CHAPEL HILL - CARRBORO CITY SCHOOLS <br />Lincoln Center, Merritt Mill Road <br />Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27516 <br />Telephone: (919) 967 -8211 <br />Neil G. Pedersen <br />Superintendent <br />TO: Board of Education <br />FROM: Neil G. Pederse <br />Superintendent <br />Ann Hart, Assistant Superintendent <br />for Instructional Services <br />Chester Prayer, Assistant Superintendent <br />for Support Services <br />RE: Teachers' Local Salary Supplement <br />DATE. February 23, 1998 <br />I was pleased with the discussion that the Board had at its February 12, 1998 <br />meeting regarding changes to the teacher supplement. We all agree that the supplement is <br />inadequate and needs to be competitive with the highest paying school districts in the state. <br />In fact, there is consensus that our teachers should receive the highest local supplement in <br />the state in light of the cost of living in this community and the high expectations that are <br />placed on our teachers. <br />I am recommending that the following changes be made to the local teacher <br />supplement schedule as soon as funds become available: <br />1. Endorse Option C and phase in its implementation over five years <br />according to the following schedule: <br />Experience <br />Present <br />0-4 yrs. <br />5% <br />5 -9 yrs. <br />6% <br />10-14 yrs. <br />10% <br />15 -19 yrs. <br />15% <br />20-24 yrs <br />20% <br />25+ yrs. <br />25% <br />Projected Cost: <br />2.

This would apply to teachers already <br />affected by this cap as well as to new hires. (Specific years are indicated <br />because the costs would change if implementation were delayed. The costs <br />are cumulative such that if this change were first implemented in 1999 -00, <br />the cost for the first year would be 186,000). <br />1998 -99 1999 -00 2000 -01 2001 -02 2002 -03 <br />Projected Cost: $127,500 $58,500 $135,500 $59,500 based on <br />1998 -99 hires <br />0 <br />
