Board approves 2025–26 salary schedules reflecting collective bargaining commitments
Summary
The Richmond Public Schools board approved the district’s 2025–26 salary schedules, incorporating negotiated raises and step increases for multiple bargaining units while inclusion of appropriation language to protect the district if final city or state funding is insufficient.
The Richmond Public Schools board approved the proposed 2025–26 salary schedules that reflect previously negotiated raises and step increases across bargaining units.
Administration told the board the salary schedules incorporate the district’s collective bargaining commitments and noted that final city and state funding levels are still pending. Contracts will include appropriation language that allows the district to adjust if final funding proves insufficient, the administration said.
Highlights the administration presented: licensed personnel will receive a 3% raise plus a 1.17% step increase; certain support and central office positions will receive negotiated raises (examples: family liaisons, school nutrition managers, and other categories listed by the administration); transportation personnel (bus operators and monitors) have negotiated increases consistent with their collective bargaining unit; and certain summer‑school hourly rates were adjusted to fit the anticipated budget. Administration said these schedule changes are intended to retain staff while the final budget is settled.
Board member Dr. Harris Mohammed moved to accept the salary schedule and the motion passed on roll call.
Ending: Superintendent Kamras said he will return with a revised budget proposal that honors the CBA commitments and identifies corresponding reductions elsewhere to align the final proposal with available revenues.
