Franklin Pierce board approves athletics and activities union contract with modest pay increase
Summary
The Franklin Pierce School Board unanimously approved a 2024–2027 collective bargaining agreement with the Athletics & Activities Association that aligns language with district priorities and provides a salary increase equal to the state inflationary adjustment plus 1% spread across three years.
The Franklin Pierce School Board on Tuesday approved a 2024–2027 collective bargaining agreement with the district’s Athletics & Activities Association, the union that represents extracurricular and athletic staff.
District presenters told trustees the agreement aligns contract language with district priorities, clarifies supervisor responsibilities and updates facilities-use language. "This bargain also increases salaries for this group by the state inflationary adjustment plus a total of 1% over 3 years," the presenter said during the meeting.
Board discussion touched on workload concerns for positions not covered in the agreement, including in-building athletic coordinator roles; staff said they are working on rollout details and will meet with affected employees. The motion to approve the agreement was made by a board member and seconded; the board voted unanimously to adopt the contract.
Why it matters: the agreement governs coaches and activity advisors who support hundreds of students in after-school competition and extracurricular programs. Trustees said aligning language and modest across-the-board increases keep compensation linked to district priorities while remaining mindful of budget constraints.
What’s next: staff will implement the updated contract language and meet with groups not included in this bargaining unit to address workload and alignment questions.
