Fulton County SchoolsFY15 Salary Highlights
13
Salary IncreaseEmployees will receive a salary step for which they are eligible on their respective salary schedules that will include on average a 2.5% COLA increase. The FY15 Teaching and Non‐Teaching salary schedules will be shifted upward, so FY15 salaries reflect a 2.5% increase but no additional step increase over FY14 salaries (No Cost Step).
*In order to avoid/correct an unprecedented longevity period that could negatively impact our ability to attract and retain teachers, STEPS 4 and 5 only of the FY15 teacher salary schedule will reflect a 3.5 increase.
Work CalendarsThe work calendar for all Paraprofessionals will be increased to 178 days from 177 days to align with the instructional calendar for students. The work calendar for Clinic Aides and School Nurses will increase to 180 days from 177 days to allow for needed preparation/training time to ensure that these employees are effectively readied to work with our most medically fragile students.
