MSD Boone Township board ratifies 2025–26 teachers’ contract and approves pay raises for support staff and administrators
Summary
The board voted to ratify the 2025–26 teachers collective bargaining agreement and approved a 2% pay increase for classified staff and administrators (three employees to receive 3% because of workload); both measures passed by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript.
The MSD Boone Township School Board voted to ratify the 2025–26 collective bargaining agreement with the teachers’ union and approved cost-of-living pay increases for classified staff and administrators.
Superintendent Dr. Brooks recommended ratifying the tentative agreement, noting that bargaining began in September and the board reviewed a tentative agreement in October. "I'd like to make that recommendation for approval," Dr. Brooks said. A motion to ratify the agreement was made, seconded and passed by voice vote; the transcript records the motion passing but does not include a roll-call tally.
Separately, Dr. Brooks presented a compensation package for support staff and administrators. The board packet outlined pay adjustments for bus drivers, custodians, aides, paraprofessionals, administrators and all classified staff. The proposal called for 2% raises for those employees, with three individuals receiving 3% due to specific workload concerns. "It's a 2% raise for everyone on that list... there are a couple of employees... receiving 3% due to some workload issues," Dr. Brooks said. The board moved and approved the pay raises by voice vote.
