Thomas County Board of Education members differ about supplements

Patti Dozier

Each board member will evaluate Quigg’s performance.

The evaluation will be the subject of a closed personnel session at the end of a 7 p.m. meeting today at 200 N. Pine Tree Blvd.

Quigg is beginning her third year as superintendent. She also is entering the third year of a three-year contract.

“A combined conclusion will be met, and we’ll discuss contract renewal and whether any changes need to be made in the contract,” Streets explained.

She said that during budget talks earlier this year, board members seemed to be concerned about losing experienced teachers and parapros in the number that were terminated.

“All administrators and directors will have their salaries reduced due to a reduction in work days,” Holland said.

Eleven-month employees will be reduced by five days; 12-month employees will be reduced by seven days.

Individual certified employees will no longer receive the $300 the school system paid annually for dental insurance or the $360 paid in a health insurance supplement.

“The effect of these budget reductions to teachers is a four to six percent decrease in their salary and benefits,” Holland explained. “The effect on administrators and directors is a decrease of six to nine percent in their salaries and benefits.”

Holland said budget reductions consist of the following:

• Normal attrition of personnel — $900,000

• Reduction in force of personnel — $1.7 million

• Elimination of local supplement — $900,000

• Elimination of dental insurance — $250,000

• Elimination of health insurance supplement — $160,000
