Several hourly and daily-wage positions with Beaver Area schools are getting a pay raise.  The school board approved the increases yesterday.  Among the pay hikes is a 50-cent uptick for full-time and substitute special education teacher assistants.  Nine of the 14 school districts in the county pay more than Beaver Area.  The district saved 70-thousand dollars by eliminating half a dozen positions in the current budget, and the money will be used to pay the increases.
