Committee was given to the Board members with a recommendation to cut 23% of

parisons with other localities as to whether it was base salary to .which Dr.

was gross pay dollars. During the discussion Supervisor Ross pointed out the
County also paid the health insurance up to $750 per person and the Virginia
Supplemental Retirement and asked Dr, Morlino if the fringe benefits were con-
sidered wouldn't the teachers salaries compare favorably with other localities.
Dr. Morlino stated,. "We are low on beginning salary and low on maximum salary,
but if you take the tenth step.. and add the fringe benefits we compare favorably".

look at and we have difficulty getting new teachers outside of the State of
Virginia,
Supervisor Bailey expressed concern relative to merit increases.
Dr, .Morlino stated the State is requiring localities increase teachers
salaries 10% and that because the County is now paying teachers less than. other
Tidewater areas do, a l0I raise alone would cause the County to fall further
behind. The School Board has recommended 13,5% increase, which is an ..increase
of $442,969 in local money..

positions, Dr. Morlino replied the 1.7 additional teachers will include three
