Cannon Falls board approves 2025–27 teachers master agreement with modest raises
Summary
After brief discussion the board approved the 2025–27 teachers master agreement. The deal includes a 1.5% salary-schedule increase for 2025–26 and a 1.925% increase for 2026–27; the board approved the agreement by voice vote.
The Cannon Falls Area Schools board voted to approve the 2025–27 teachers master agreement at its regular meeting.
The board chair (unnamed in the transcript) described negotiations as unusually swift and constructive, saying the parties reached agreement after far fewer meetings than in past rounds. The agreement includes a 1.5% increase to the salary schedule for the 2025–26 school year and a 1.925% increase for 2026–27; the chair described the combined effect as "about a total of 2 and a half" percent. Board members commended district negotiators and the teachers' union for productive dialogue; one member said they were "braced for conflict" but were pleased with how smoothly talks went.
A motion to approve the master agreement was made and seconded and carried by voice vote.
