Bryan Pruitt
The Eureka Springs School Board approved the salary schedule for the 2021-2022 school year on Monday night, agreeing to increase the base salary for teachers to $37,600.
Superintendent Bryan Pruitt said the states base salary is increasing from $34,000 to $36,000, and the Eureka Springs School District wanted to stay ahead of that and be proactive on our salary schedule.
Increasing the base salary to $37,600, Pruitt said, will help draw teachers to the district. He said thats an increase of $500 from the base salary the board approved for the 2020-2021 school year.
It makes our school more attractive to new teachers coming in, Pruitt said. We also pay up to $320 a month on everybodys insurance. Thats right at a $4,000 benefit. Its a nice package we have here for our staff.

Most of the Eureka Springs School District staff is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
At the Eureka Springs School Boards regular meeting on Thursday, Feb. 18, Superintendent Bryan Pruitt announced that the 70 members of the staff who had received an initial dose of the vaccine would receive the second round of vaccinations on Wednesday, Feb. 24. The staff received the first round of vaccinations on Jan. 27. Pruitt said he had hoped to administer the second round on Feb. 19, but it was difficult to get everything arranged in such a short period of time.
I contacted our school nurse and she contacted our pharmacists and they said it wouldnt be available that day, Pruitt said. It just wouldnt work out.
