Middlesex County Public Schools pays its teachers the lowest salaries of any school system on “this side of Interstate 95” was the message to Supervisors from school officials and the public at a hearing on the county’s proposed 2025-2026 budget.
Earlier in the budget process, the school board requested from supervisors funding to give a 7% raise to teachers and 4% raise to other school employees in an attempt to get salaries competitive with surrounding counties.
This went by the wayside early in budget talks as County Administrator Matt Walker recommended a 3% across the board raise for county and school employees, which appeared to be embraced by MCBS.
