OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — School district employees in Oshkosh will receive raises in line with the rate of inflation.
The school board voted last week to increase all employees’ pay 4.7% for the next school year. The pay hike is in line with the consumer price index increase as of last July 1.
“Our teachers and staff members are truly difference makers,” superintendent Bryan Davis said in a news release. “We know that by investing in our staff, we are in turn investing in quality teaching and learning for our students. We are grateful for our School Board’s forward-thinking and shared commitment supporting our staff so that we can continue to retain and attract the best employees.”
The district says the money will come partly from savings that resulted from the district moving to a partially self-funded health insurance plan.
The district says it has job openings with immediate start dates, as well as expected openings for the 2022-23 school year. A job fair is set for Feb. 15.
