GENOA – The three-year contract approved last week by the Genoa-Kingston School District 424 Board included two years of salary increases, but school officials don’t expect the budget to change much.

However, several factors make salary expenditures difficult to predict.

Superintendent Joe Burgess said the district plans to spend about $9 million on salaries next year. He said the budget should stay the same, but could fluctuate by a few hundred thousand dollars depending on the number of employees who decide to retire.
