Roanoke City Schools giving raises to administrators, laying off teachers

The Roanoke City school board decided in a closed session to cut fifty eight positions, including the jobs of fifteen teachers. Since then, the board has voted to give **ten administrative workers raises**.

Only one of the ten is a four percent raise, which is around the standard cost of living raise. The rest are anywhere from seven to **thirty two percent**.

The raises add up to more than $93,000.
