Sturgeon Bay board approves 2026–27 teacher compensation and issues returning contracts
Summary
The board approved the professional staff salary ladder changes for 2026–27 including a $500 longevity add-on for five employees, and authorized individual contracts for returning teachers ahead of the state May 15 deadline.
The Sturgeon Bay School District board on April 15 approved revisions to the professional staff salary ladder for 2026–27 and authorized individual contracts for returning teachers.
Administration recommended a longevity compensation revision that adds $500 for five teachers who would otherwise be at the top of the ladder, and said most returning teachers received multiple ladder-step increases over the prior two years. Trustees said the item had been discussed in prior sessions and moved to ensure returning teachers could receive contracts by the Wisconsin deadline.
The board approved the professional staff compensation and then approved individual contracts for all returning teachers as presented. Administration noted the state requirement that returning teacher contracts be issued by May 15 and emphasized that teachers on a plan of assistance do not advance on the ladder.
