Greater Clark approves supplemental teacher payments and tentative paraeducator contract with pay increases
Summary
The Greater Clark County Schools Board approved supplemental payments for listed teachers and ratified a tentative two-year paraeducator contract that raises base pay and adds HSA contributions.
The Greater Clark County Schools Board of Trustees on voice vote approved a resolution authorizing supplemental payments to teachers listed for completed activities and ratified a tentative two-year master contract for paraeducators.
A staff presenter summarized the paraeducator agreement, saying, “the paraeducators and administration have reached a tentative agreement on a 2 year contract,” and outlined key terms: an increase in base pay from $14 an hour to $16 an hour in the first year, a $1-per-hour increase in the second year, eligible paraeducators will receive a $500 contribution to a health savings account in January 2026 and January 2027, and the stipend for highly qualified paraeducators will increase to $450.
Board members expressed appreciation for paraeducators’ work. Miss Perkins moved to approve the contract; the motion received a second and passed by voice vote. The supplemental-pay resolution was presented as paperwork shared with Samantha Pierce, GCEA president, and approved by the board by voice vote.
The board did not record a roll-call tally for either action in the meeting transcript; both were adopted by unanimous voice vote as recorded on the audio.
Clarifying details provided at the meeting identified the HSA contributions as $500 in January of 2026 and again in January of 2027 and the stipend increase to $450 for qualifying paraeducators. The district did not provide a fiscal-year total cost for the paraeducator contract in the meeting discussion.
