Board approves multiple tentative agreements, superintendent contract adjustments
Summary
The board approved a series of tentative agreements with employee groups (directors, coordinators, building administrators, central support staff, office managers, AFSCME groups and others) and made two contract adjustments for the superintendent regarding evaluation appeals and bonus language.
The Anchor Bay School District Board of Education approved multiple tentative agreements with employee groups and approved two contract adjustments for the superintendent at its June 25 meeting.
Administrators brought forward tentative agreements covering directors; coordinators and supervisors; building administrators; central support staff; office managers and secretaries; custodians, bus drivers and food-service staff represented by AFSCME; and several nonaffiliated groups including technology staff and an assistant-superintendent contract. Roll-call votes approved each tentative agreement. In at least one vote (directors) board member Powers voted no; most votes were recorded as unanimous.
Separately, the board approved an administrative change to the superintendent’s contract to add an appeal process allowing the superintendent to appeal any evaluation rating below the effective category by notifying the board president in writing within 30 calendar days and using the existing arbitration clause. The board also revised the superintendent’s performance‑bonus language to set the top bonus at 2% for an “effective” rating under the updated statutory rating categories, reflecting a statewide change to evaluation categories.
Board members said contract approvals followed committee review; administrators said bargaining resulted in terms consistent with district practice and budget planning.
