Summary
Trustees unanimously approved a collective bargaining agreement with the Big Sky Professional Teachers Association that the packet describes as raising certified staff pay via a flat matrix addition and matrix increases across fiscal years; the board discussed amounts and budget alignment.
The Big Sky School Board voted to approve a collective bargaining agreement with the Big Sky Professional Teachers Association as presented in the meeting packet. The motion was moved by a trustee and approved unanimously.
Board materials presented at the meeting described the compensation terms: for fiscal year 27, the packet summarized a flat matrix increase of $1,100 for certified staff (the presenter characterized that as a 1.5% increase) and described an "average of 6.1% for certified staff across the board." The packet and presenter also described a matrix rise for fiscal year 28 (the packet language presented in the meeting characterized that as a 6% matrix increase). Trustees said the package included no major language changes to working conditions but did include clean-up edits.
Trustees thanked the negotiating team and noted the agreement was reached after budget discussion earlier in the year. The district will finalize budget accounting and implement the pay matrix changes in the payroll cycle outlined by the business office.
