3 <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos asked if the number of staff members is known. <br /> Superintendent Baldwin said about 700. <br /> OCS Chair Atherton said this would affect OCS as well. <br /> Chair Rich asked if salary increases are retroactively provided, once a state budget is <br /> passed. <br /> Staff said it depends. <br /> Chair Rich asked if the County provided additional funding, would the County get its <br /> money back if increases are provided by the State retroactively. <br /> Rani Dasi said historically, it has been retroactive, but this is new territory with the State. <br /> She said she has heard rumors of a budget not being approved next year either. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said the lack of raises for more seasoned teachers (16-24 years) <br /> is by design, in an effort to force more experienced teachers out. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said 700 staff x $300 annual increase. <br /> Rani Dasi asked if the figures could be provided at a later date, to avoid inaccuracies. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said if this is for next fiscal year, then it will be part of the schools' <br /> budget proposals. <br /> OCS staff said there are about 400 staff members in OCS. <br /> 2.
