School Board votes to give pay increase
Placeholder Image
Employees of the Newton County School System will see a little more money in their checks through the rest of the year following a called meeting today. The Newton County School Board members agreed to spend nearly $1 million of the unexpected $4.4 million that was saved last year by the system's maintenance and operations department, as well as other small savings. The increase amount will essentially be two days pay spread out through the remainder of this year's paychecks for system employees, or roughly $40 in net pay per paycheck.
