By RICK GREEN, LACONIA DAILY SUNMEREDITH — Voters participating in the annual Inter-Lakes School District Meeting Wednesday night approved significant pay raises for teachers and support staff. Current salaries range from $39,000 annually for a starting teacher to $69,000 for a teacher holding a master's degree plus 30 graduate credits and 10 years of experience. Voters at the meeting increased the budget for the school district, which has about 1,000 students, from $23.93 million to $24.41 million. An owner of a home assessed at $250,000 in Meredith will see a yearly property tax increase of $167, while the increase will be $40 for a home in Sandwich in the coming year. A similar home in Center Harbor will actually have a property tax decrease of $115 under a formula that takes into account changes in student attendance counts and equalized property tax assessment from different communities.
