School board members voted late Tuesday to reject small raises for several groups of non-union employees.
Superintendent Walter Milton’s administration had recommended the raises, averaging around one-and-a-half percent, for some support staff and workers in the SCOPE after-school program.
The raises would have helped those non-union workers keep pace with teachers, who are getting raises in conjunction with the union contract they negotiated last year.
But the board says money’s too tight to approve the raises.
