Durham Public Schools Faces Salary Calculation Conundrum In a move that may impact the livelihoods of hundreds of classified staff members, Durham Public Schools is currently weighing three different options for calculating their salaries. The decision comes as the district grapples with budget constraints and seeks to create a more equitable compensation system. Classified staff, which includes positions such as bus drivers, custodians, and food service workers, have long argued that their salaries are undervalued and do not keep pace with the cost of living in the area. As the district considers its options, stakeholders are holding their breath, eager to see how the decision will affect these essential workers.
