TPS Board Approves Staff Pay Raises

Posted on: Friday, 21 October 2005, 18:00 CDT

By Tulsa World, Okla.

Oct. 21--The Tulsa school board approved salary increases for support workers and administrators at a meeting this week.

The raises for support workers and administrators are comparable to the 5 percent teachers received when the board approved their new contract last month, said Bill Naftzger, chief human resources officer for Tulsa Public Schools.

A new contract for support workers will increase the total cost of their salaries by $1.7 million.

Support workers at the top of the district's pay scale will receive a one-time stipend of 4 percent.

Administrators and other employees who are not covered by collective-bargaining agreements with the district will receive raises that will cost an additional $598,000.

Employees in that category at the top of the district's pay scale will receive a one-time stipend of 2 percent.

Individual salary increases for those administrators and other non-negotiated employees range from $1,170 to $9,100, Naftzger said.
