Richmond Teachers Get Lower Raises Than Huntley’s
8-30-6 - 
With one school board member saying that Huntley school teachers will get a 5¾% raise this coming year and another pegging the 2007-08 raise at 6¾%, it probably will be difficult for other McHenry County school districts to keep up...assuming the numbers are correct.
Today, the Northwest Herald reported that the Richmond-Spring Grove teachers will get 3.4% raises.
Of course, only Carpentersville School District 300 and McHenry Grade School District 15 passed rate hike referendums.
Contract negotiations in both schools remain unresolved.
The 3.7% pay raise headline above is from Tuesday’s Sun-Times. It is not about union workers, however. And, Hewitt Associates reported its survey that “variable pay,” that is, bonuses tied to performance, is 11.2% of payroll.
