Clark County school administrators won’t demand raises

School administrators will stick to an agreed-upon pay freeze and not demand raises in 2012-13, despite teachers winning salary increases in arbitration this spring, according to a contract approved by the Clark County School Board on Thursday.

The Clark County School District’s 1,200 administrators will be working under the same terms in 2012-13 as they did last school year, saving the district $1.74 million. The savings come from a pay freeze and other concessions, which the cash-strapped district requested of the Clark County Association of School Administrators and Professional-technical Employees to balance the budget.

Administrators will continue to see a 1.5 percent reduction to salaries, which was implemented in the 2010-11 school year. The school district will use the savings from this salary reduction to pay the administrators’ share of the 2.25 percent rate increase issued by the state public employees retirement system. Employees are responsible for half of any rate increase to the retirement plan.
