Board approves bus drivers’ contract with pay and bonus increases
Summary
The board approved a tentative agreement with the Greater Clark Service Association representing bus drivers that increases base hourly pay, raises the quarterly attendance bonus, adjusts meal allowance, and extends HSA contributions to eligible employees.
The Greater Clark County Schools Board on voice vote approved a tentative two-year agreement with the Greater Clark Service Association representing bus drivers that raises base pay and increases incentives.
A staff presenter summarized the contract: association business days increased from five to seven, the district updated performance language to align with an earlier resolution, eligible employees will receive a $500 HSA contribution in January 2026 and January 2027, attendance bonuses will increase from $300 to $500 per quarter, the meal allowance was adjusted, and base pay will rise from $21.25 an hour to $23.25 for the 2025–26 school year with another $1 increase in 2026–27.
Board members thanked bus drivers and asked one clarifying question about the meal allowance being used when employees are driving for events such as field trips or athletic contests. Miss Perkins moved to approve the contract; the motion received a second and passed by voice vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The presenter also thanked bargaining-unit members for working with the district on the agreement. The board did not discuss a district-wide cost total during the meeting.
