Middlesex County School employees could be getting as much as a 5% pay raise under the fiscal year 2021-2022 proposed budget. The Southside Sentinel reports the Board of Supervisors is looking at receiving $160,000 in state funding to cover what are known as “step increases”. The 5% would be paid out over a 2-year-period which is a requirement to get the funding and also requires the county to kick in $300,000.
