MILTON Milton School District teachers received a raise that averaged 2% this year, but some teachers saw increases of less than 1%, a teachers union official said. The school board approved the pay raises Feb. 8, wrapping up 2020-21 salary increases for all district employee groups. Most teachers will not see 2% increases, said Renee Stieve, president of the Milton Education Association, the local teachers union, which did not accept the offer that the district imposed. Stieve said 74% of teaching staff will get raises of less than 2%, and 67% will get raises that are less than the consumer price index of 1.81%. Teacher compensation can get complicated. Besides the districtâs pay raise, teachers who had good evaluations in 2019-20 receive merit increases, which range from $500 to $2,000 per teacher. Teachers also can receive salary increases for professional development.
