After a month of Observer queries about the market adjustment raises Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools awarded in a June 26 vote, CMS has released the details on who got what. Read the list here.
Almost 250 salaried staff, including many principals and assistant principals, got market raises, and 26 got annual bumps of $10,000 or more. Before today, CMS had said only that those raises were as high as $17,202 a year. That top raise went to Susan Norwood, executive director of the federally funded merit pay program known as TIF-LEAP.
Everyone gets a 3 percent raise as part of the $1.2 billion budget approved Tuesday. But almost 6,000 people are getting additional raises based on a 2007 Deloitte Consulting study that showed their jobs were paying below market rates. Those who got market raises will get the 3 percent hike on top of that increase.
Here's the Q & A CMS sent employees to explain the raises.
To see what salaries were before the 2012-13 raises, check the CMS salary database.

WOW!!!!
What a CMeSs.
Everyone knows why certain consultants are selected. Employees are worth the amount they are willing to work. Each of these willingly worked for the pre-adjustment dollars. Isn't that the best way to deyermine the true "market" pay?
Looks like the Q&A file is linked incorrectly...it goes to the salary list
I got a three percent raise. I am perfectly happy with that three percent. More than what I expected even if it gets eaten up by health care cost increases. Love how a principal of 3 years gets a 14,000 bumb.... more than my lil ole three percent. The market adjustments serve as a misstep, and only complicate Heath's job. Almost like sending an email about dress code, before you even said hey this is who I am, here is my vision, this is what I expect and here is how I am going to hold you accountable. O yeah a glad to have you here, lets make this a great year would have been nice.
Someone should have thought this through...
Thanks, 6:08. You're right; we are having issues with that link. Got an online guy working on it now.
I think we got it fixed -- and added the 314-page market survey, for the real die-hard data divers.
The principal I work for got a $9,0000 raise. She and her admin has worked hard to bully, harass and intimidate the staff. Last year (10-11) 75% of the staff left including many of our most gifted and tenured teachers. During this past school year 12 teachers resigned. Don't know what the final count for losses over the summer is, but is this how the raise is determined? Or is it the fact that her uncle is a politically prominant member of the community?
This is such an insult to our hard working teachers.

This entire short sighted smoke and mirrored process is a continuation of CMESS. Nothing and I mean nothing has changed in how they do business and burn taxpayers money. So few today are patting themselves on the back for a job well done while the TRUE workers will never ever get back the actual cost of living adjustment. Morale and public distrust will only get worse. Good luck in those public meetings Hair Morrison. Is it on your "radar" yet?!?
Never seen one of the "consultants" recommend a pay CUT. Just a racket with consultants and educators scratching each others back.....
I looked over that salary increase list and it just saddened me that the "real" workers...the folks that make schools run only got raises from 30 cents to under a dollar. Speaks volumes to what CMS feels is important in educating our children.
