Next year, it will be $58 for 2 Man Varsity, $78 for Single Man Varsity, and $73 for Single Man JV.
This is long over due in our industry. Our association, and schools, are hoping this will alleviate the problem we have getting officials to work alone, at the lower level.
In any case, I think they deserve it.

I think you're wrong. I think JV officials should be paid in such a manner that encourages them to become good enough to work varsity games. In other words, if you're getting $58 for varsity, I'd pay about $35 for JV, both single and 2-man. I'd charge the schools more as an association, but that money wouldn't go to the umpire -- it would go into the association.
The goal should be to get schools to hire 2 officials, not make it attractive for the officials to go out and work 1-man.
