Fulton school board members are considering a budget for next school year that would include pay raises for all employees.
Board members got a preliminary look at the fiscal year 2017 budget priorities and revenue projections at a meeting Tuesday. The proposed budget includes a 5 percent raise for teachers and a 3 percent raise for all other district staff.
Those who teach special education, an area in high demand locally and nationally, would receive an additional $3,000 supplement to their salary. In addition to the increase, no employee will experience furlough days or pay cuts.
In total, the general operating budget is expected to be just over $952 million. The FY 2017 budget is expected to be tentatively approved May 19, with final adoption June 7.
