Summary
The Manitowoc School District Board of Education approved 2.9% salary increases for teachers and for administrators/support staff for the 2025–26 school year; each action passed with one abstention recorded.
The Manitowoc School District Board of Education voted to approve 2.9% salary increases for teachers and for administrators and other support staff for the 2025–26 school year.
The action concluded unfinished business from a prior meeting. Board member Christopher Abel moved the teacher salary increase and Keith Shaw seconded the motion; the board approved the increase. Abel later moved the same 2.9% increase for administrators and other staff; the motion also passed. Board members recorded one abstention on the action approving the increases.
Board members who placed the motions and seconds were identified on the record as Christopher Abel and Keith Shaw. The transcript shows the board chair called for a voice vote on the teacher increase and then for the administrators/support-staff increase; after the latter vote the chair said, “Those increases are approved. Yes. 1 abstention. 1 abstention.”
Board members discussed the vote as part of the organizational meeting’s unfinished-business agenda and moved on after approving the pay adjustments.
The approved increases are described in the meeting record as a 2.9% consumer price index (CPI)-based raise for the 2025–26 contract year. The board did not provide further budget detail in the public record during this meeting about funding sources or any offsets.
The board listed the matter as unfinished business from the prior meeting and dealt with it before new-business items and the scheduled closed session on the superintendent contract.
