Every Salem-Keizer Public Schools employee, with the exception of Superintendent Christy Perry, will see an increase in wages by the end of the month.The bump is aimed to bolster retention and recruitment efforts while also showing appreciation and acknowledgment of the district's existing workforce, said Aaron Harada, a spokesman for the district. All Salem-Keizer staff members were notified of the change last week.The boost in wages comes as the cost of living continues to rise statewide and across the country.
