RSU 10 board ratifies administrators' contract; some board members voice concern over raise schedule
Summary
The board ratified the administrators' collective-bargaining agreement after debate over changed salary escalators (4% then 5% increases cited). Kristen and other members sought amendments, but the motion passed.
The RSU 10 board voted to ratify the collective-bargaining agreement between the district and its administrators after discussion about the size and timing of salary increases.
Board members discussed changes in planned escalators: Kristen outlined arithmetic showing how cumulative increases (example scenario shown in the meeting: a $100,000 salary rising to $104,000, then $109,200, and subsequent increases) could push some administrator pay toward superintendent levels over the contract term. She said taxpayers are under pressure and requested an amendment or fuller fiscal context before approving large increases.
Supporters said the increases were proposed as part of a negotiated package and reflected fixed-cost contract realities; the negotiations committee and the administrators had ratified the agreement. After discussion, the board voted to ratify the administrators' agreement. The chair announced the motion passed.
The board did not enumerate every vote publicly during discussion; the chair announced the motion carried.
