WESTERN WAYNE ACKNOWLEDGES NON-COMPLIANCE REGARDING TEACHER PAY

(Cambridge City, IN)--One week after its most recent school board meeting, there is no word on what – if any – ramifications will result from a lack of compliance by Western Wayne Schools involving teacher pay.  There were two issues:  Western Wayne failed to spend at least 62% of state tuition support on teacher pay and it did not increase pay when state support increased.  Superintendent Kelly Plank said that the district only needed to acknowledge the non-compliance.  "We just have to acknowledge that we have not met the requirements to spend 62% of our education fund on teacher benefits and salaries," Plank said.  That was the entirety of the eight-second discussion at last week's Board meeting.
