School board approves pay raises
By Melinda L. Lucas
Teacher pay raises were approved for those who have “topped out” on the state salary scale during the June 19 meeting of the Albany ISD school board.
Trustees also heard about several staff candidates who had been interviewed, and even though some of those came with administrator recommendations, the board ultimately gave superintendent Jonathan Scott the authority to make final decisions about filling vacancies rather than voting individually on the applicants.
