Another pay raise
in store for staff
By Randy Scoggin
Editor in Chief
TCJC Board of Trustees
approved a surprise 1.1 percent pay
increase for all employees at the first
meeting of the new year last
Thursday.
The pay increase will be for all
full-time employees returning from
the 90-91 year and on the payroll as
of Jan. 31,1992.
“The faculty and staff of TCJC
are our greatest asset next to the
students; and although I am not sure
how the state legislature was able to
provide us with the money to pass
along this salary increase, I support
the increase entirely,” Clay Berry,
Jr, vice president of the TCJC Board
of Trustees, said.
In September, employees
received roughly a 3 percent pay
increase; and the 1.1 percent increase,
effective for the entire fiscal year,
would be added to that.
The Board approved the
election order for the upcoming
election of board members from
single member districts. Clay Berry,
Jr, from district4 and a member to be
chosen from the newly created 5th
district will run for election in
November.
During the meeting, board
members approved tenure for 12
TCJC instructors on all campuses.
The board decided to take under
advisement, from a financial planner,
a plan to refinance unissued bonds
that could return $3 million to the
college coffers.
“It’s kind of like refinancing
your home, but we can do this only
once and we want to do it at the right
time,” C. A. Roberson, TCJC
chancellor, said.
Two representatives from a
special child abuse training program
on NW Campus discussed plans for
the tenth annual training project titled
A Decade of Righting Wrongs, a
multidisciplinary symposium.

director of special projects, and S usan
