Summary

Staff said the proposed supplement increases would move the district from about 32nd in the state to roughly 12th (Option A) or about 8th under the $2,000 supplement estimate; the committee compared the district's $48,000 base to Fort Mill's $50,000 base pay.

Miss McLean (Speaker 3) told the committee that increasing local supplements would change the district's comparative ranking among large districts. She said the district is currently around 32nd but that Option A's changes would put it near 12th; moving the certified supplement to $2,000 could move the district further to about eighth, by her estimate.

Committee members asked how the district compares with nearby districts. Miss McLean noted CMS, Wake and Durham remain ahead of Union County, and that Fort Mill has increased its base pay to $50,000 while Union County's starting pay is $48,000; she said the proposed supplements would put the district closer to those peers.
