Next year’s operational budget at Barton community college will include an additional 2 percent for salaries. The college’s board of trustees approved the budget on Tuesday with a provision to review the financial situation in January to see if larger raises are possible.Faculty will see a 2 percent pay increase “across the board,” while other employees could see a greater or smaller percentage increase. That’s because the college has been adjusting wages to bring them more in line with market value over the years.Although the trustees unanimously approved the Fiscal Year 2018 Operational Budget, there was some disagreement over the salary increase.
