Teacher pay has been the reason for numerous teacher walkouts and strikes in various parts of the country and Clinton Schools are working to make sure that doesn't happen.
Superintendent Curt Nettles had hoped a resolution would get voted on last week at the monthly Board of Education meeting but that was put on hold as more details come together.
With a teacher shortage on the hands of school leaders in Illinois, Nettles says it is very important to make teaching in Clinton attractive to retain the good educators they have.
The pay increase is for support staff and administration but teachers currently have one year left on the contract they negotiated three years ago.
Nettles feels there needs to be the focus on making sure teachers are paid fairly.
