Public School Trustees Honoraria Frozen

Trustees with the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board won't see any increase in their pay for the next two years.

The honorarium for the elected school board members will be frozen at 59 hundred dollars a year.

Superintendant of Business, Dean Carrie says under the provincial government's restraint legislation, trustee salaries have to be frozen until April 1st, 2012.

After that, the honorarium will go up to almost 63 hundred dollars a year.

The chair will continue to receive another five thousand dollars a year, while the vice-chair
is eligible for an additional 25 hundred dollars.
