WEST COLUMBIA, SC -- Lexington Two’s Board of Trustees has approved a salary increase for teachers at all levels of experience for the 2022-2023 school year.
All of the district’s teachers will receive a base salary increase of $2,327, plus their annual STEP increase (roughly another 2 percent). That means for first-year teachers, for example, the new base salary is $41,500, up from $39,173. It also is higher than the state minimum of roughly $40,000.
Salaries for staff positions have been increased and salary scales updated as well, following results of a compensation study of all district positions to ensure appropriate and competitive pay.
