Marietta City Schools employees will soon see a bump in their take-home pay.

The system’s school board recently approved its fiscal year 2022 budget, which totals $117 million and includes pay increases for eligible certified and classified employees.

Spokeswoman Jen Brock said the raises range from 6% to 10.4%, with the average employee seeing a 7.5% salary increase.

Marietta schools’ budget and pay increases will go into effect July 1. The raises will be applied in addition to any increases eligible employees are entitled to each year based on experience.

The district has about 1,400 employees, Superintendent Grant Rivera said. As of March 4, the system had about 8,500 students enrolled, according to Georgia Department of Education data.
