The projected surplus is estimated to be $ 15,076.31 which assumes $100,000 in revenue from annual fund contributions. Cory Draughan will be attending to review the budget proposal with the Board. Staff salary projections for teachers were calculated using the 2018-2019 state salary guide plus the Exploris School supplement outlined in the ED Report. The average of teacher salaries is $ 56,410, with an 8% average increase based on the 18-19 state salary guide. Teaching assistants are projected to receive a 5-6% increase based on the 18-19 state salary guide. Admin and support staff are projected to receive a 3% increase.
