Teachers and support staff in the Jacksonville/North Pulaski School District will see pay raises in the upcoming 2023-24 school year.
The district’s School Board voted unanimously Monday for Superintendent Jeremy Owoh’s recommendation that the base salary for teachers increase by 2.5 %, with salaries for more veteran teachers increasing as well.
The board approved the increases at a meeting in which it approved the 2023-24 school year calendar and received reports on construction of an addition to Jacksonville Middle School and replacement schools for Bayou Meto and Murrell Taylor elementaries.
