The College Station school board has postponed a decision about pay raises for the next school year.
Administrators were ready to recommend a two percent raise at the last board meeting. Then new rates were announced for health insurance that would mean a net loss for most employees.
Board president Valerie Jochen and secretary Jeff Harris were among those saying they did not want CSISD employees to make a choice.
The cost of health insurance in CSISD is rising an average of $80 dollars a month, on top of what an employee is already paying. That’s more than double what a two percent raise would generate for someone earning $30,000 dollars.
