Deer Valley Unified School District is planning “significant salary increases” for its staff if the Arizona Legislature takes action on approving the aggregate expenditure limit that continues to keep district budgets in limbo.
The governing board Tuesday night unanimously approved an updated salary structure that would result from the potential legislative action so schools can use the money allocated to them in the bipartisan budget since it was approved in June.
Jim Migliorino, Deer Valley Unified’s deputy superintendent in the Fiscal & Business Services Department, laid out at the meeting what he called the “significant” increases that shows certified teachers receiving an average salary bump of 10%, and classified employees and administrators each getting an average increase of 9%.
