BURTON SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER STEPPING DOWN

  

A member of the Burton School Board will be stepping down at their meeting Tuesday.

An unnamed member will be retiring from the board at the meeting tomorrow night at 6:30 at the administrative office at 701 North Railroad St.

Trustees are expected to appoint a replacement for the retiring member and swear-in the replacement.

Trustees will also consider staff salary increases for the coming school year. The board tabled action on the raises last month, saying they wanted to see what state legislators decided on pay increases for teachers.

The state Legislature is currently considering a salary hike for teachers, during their special session.

The board will also consider setting a proposed tax rate and a date for a public meeting on the district’s proposed budget and tax rate.

Trustees will hold a budget workshop at 5:30, prior to the regular meeting, also in the administration offices.
