The Granville Central School District Board of Education ratified a collective bargaining agreement with the Granville Teachers Association covering 2024'2027 at its Sept. 15 meeting. The board moved and approved the memorandum of agreement after board members and staff described the negotiated package as addressing long-term retention and compensation concerns.
Chair presided over the vote and thanked negotiating teams and district staff for the collaboration that led to the agreement. Committee member praised the deal, saying the district developed "a 32 step salary schedule, which is kinda unheard of," and called it "one of the best I've ever seen" for addressing recruitment and retention pressures.
Staff noted the teachers had ratified the package roughly a week before the board's action; the board's approval formalizes the district's acceptance. Members emphasized that the package builds on prior voter-approved budgets and a fund balance that the board said made the settlement possible.
The board voted on the motion to ratify the contract and approved it by voice vote. No public comments were offered during the meeting on this item. The agreement covers the 2024'2027 period and the district said it expects the new pay schedule to support longer-term staffing stability.
