The Great Falls Public Schools board approved salaries for two employee groups during their June 22 meeting.
Both groups include employees whose salaries aren’t set through collective bargaining.
The board approved a three percent base salary increase for the administrative group for the budget year that begins July 1.
The superintendent is not included in the group because her contract is negotiated and approved separately by the school board.
