B.C. school trustees reversed a 35% pay raise after public outcry over its size and timing.

B.C. Interior school trustees have reversed their decision to approve a 35% pay raise for themselves, following public backlash and criticism over the proposed increase. The move comes after community members and local leaders expressed concern about the raise's size and timing, particularly amid ongoing debates about education funding and public sector compensation. The trustees cited the need to maintain public trust and are now reviewing the pay adjustment.
