The West Central School Corporation is finalizing teacher pay levels. The school board Thursday approved teacher contracts for the school year.
A master contract had been approved back in September, but calculating individual pay rates had to wait until now, according to Superintendent Don Street. “Teacher salary is based upon your ’15-’16 school year evaluation,” he said, “and part of a teacher’s evaluation is based upon state ISTEP scores and the state-assigned letter grades. And the State of Indiana did not release those, could not release those until December.”
Street says that system came about due to changes in state law.
