The 2021 Scranton School District budget approved by the school board Monday night included raises for three administrators.
When the prior administration hired the business manager, chief human resource officer and special education director, the employees were given salaries inconsistent with employees in similar positions, officials said Tuesday.
Board President Katie Gilmartin said directors are correcting historical mistakes, as the board would for any employee paid at a lower rate.
Contracts with Patrick Laffey, business manager, and John Castrovinci, chief human resource officer, are in negotiations, Superintendent Melissa McTiernan said. The 2021 budget includes money for those contracts, she said. The budget did not include raises for teachers and other employees.
