Summary

Administrators summarized a tentative collective bargaining agreement that guarantees at least a $1,000 raise for employees evaluated effective or highly effective and produces an average raise of roughly $1,600; the agreement will be brought back for ratification at the November board meeting.

District negotiators (speaker 7) summarized a tentative agreement reached with the classroom teachers association following a collaborative bargaining process that opened Sept. 15 and follows state timelines.

Highlights presented by district staff include efforts to minimize health insurance increases, a guarantee that employees evaluated as effective or highly effective last year will receive at least a $1,000 raise, and an average raise of about $1,600 driven in part by catch-up adjustments. The district used a model from a statewide association to guide negotiations and said the tentative agreement has been advertised publicly per requirements.

Staff indicated the agreement will be brought back to the board for ratification at the November meeting. The presentation was framed as an informational highlight of the bargaining outcome rather than an immediate ratification vote.
