Budget Committee to Consider Teacher Pay Raise

The Budget Committee of the Sumner County Commission will meet on Monday, August 12th at 6:00PM in Conference Room 112 of the County Administration Building in Gallatin.

The agenda will include a discussion of a proposed pay raise for Sumner County teachers that would take effect in the 2020-21 academic year.

Director of Schools Del Phillips is proposing that the County Commission commit to funding a $4000 pay raise for all teachers in order to make teacher pay in Sumner County more competitive.

A final decision on the measure is expected to be voted on at the August 19th full commission meeting.

To date, the 2019-2020 county general purpose and school system budgets have not been approved.
