Board ratifies 2025–27 agreement with CASA, increases stipends and adds salary column
Summary
Trustees unanimously ratified a two‑year negotiated agreement with the Clark County Association of School Administrators and Professional Technical Employees that adds a new top salary column, raises the salary schedule in 2026 by 3% (partially applied to PERS), provides a 2% increase in year two, and increases several stipends. Total estimated contract value change is $36.7 million (10.66%).
The board ratified a negotiated agreement with the Clark County Association of School Administrators and Professional Technical Employees (CASA) after a public hearing and overview by district counsel John Okazaki. The agreement covers fiscal years 2025–27 and includes the following fiscal provisions:
• A one‑time reconfiguration of salary columns (deleting column A and adding column K) while maintaining 10 columns overall; access to the new top column requires additional professional learning conditions. No one receives an automatic pay raise solely from the column reorganization.
• A 3% increase in the salary schedule in 2026 (the parties agreed CASA will use a portion of that increase to cover PERS costs), followed by a 2% salary increase in the second year of the agreement.
• Increases to longevity stipends ($500), athletic/activity supervision stipends (comprehensive high school APs and student success coordinators +$1,500; middle school +$500; elementary +$500), increased rural school activity stipends (+$1,000 for listed rural schools), and a $3,500 stipend for certain Student Services Division administrators reflecting previous MOAs.
• Modest changes to vacation accrual and cash‑out rules (permitting up to 7 days to be cashed out under specified conditions) and a provision allowing administrators to access accrued vacation while on certain leaves (for example, service in the legislature).
Okazaki told trustees the approximate fiscal value of the changes is $36,655,000, representing a 10.66% increase in total contract value and that parties agreed to continue negotiating non‑fiscal terms. CASA Executive Director Jeff Horn thanked negotiators and urged ratification. The board voted 7–0 to approve the agreement.
What happens next: The agreement’s terms will be administered by Human Resources and Payroll; staff said they will continue negotiations on outstanding non‑fiscal terms and coordinate implementation of stipends and column access requirements. Trustees asked for clarity about how column K would be earned and how stipend increases will be funded and reported.
