The established, annual experience raises for Bulloch County Schools support personnel, such as custodians, cooks and classroom paraprofessionals, range from 10 cents per hour each of the first five years on the job to 21 cents per hour for years 16-20.Evonn Key, a paraprofessional at Langston Chapel Middle School, had spoken to the Board of Education a month ago asking for a raise for these employees. A teacher also spoke for teacher raises. Then, in a budget presentation April 24, Chief Financial Officer Troy Brown noted that step increases for teachers as well as support personnel were already part of the budget, as they had been through years of budget cuts.At Thursday night’s meeting, Key again spoke during public participation time, telling board members that the amount of the raises is an important point.“An article in the Statesboro Herald stated that we a get a pay raise, that our pay raise was there all along,” Key said.
