Forest Hills board approves one‑year teacher calendar, multiple wage agreements; school year to begin Aug. 26
Summary
The board approved a one‑year teacher work calendar tied to a one‑year wage-and-benefit agreement with the Forest Hills Education Association and approved several other employee group agreements; the superintendent said the first day of school will be Aug. 26 and staff return Aug. 20.
The Forest Hills Board of Education approved a one‑year teacher work calendar and wage‑and‑benefit agreement with the Forest Hills Education Association at its June 8 meeting and approved several additional employee agreements covering supervisors, child‑care/preschool staff and building administrators.
Board discussion described the teacher agreement as a one‑year contract driven in part by association bylaws that limit multi‑year wage approvals; the calendar includes added professional learning days to support CKLA implementation and fewer full days off, with some early release days placed near logical breaks. A board member said, upon approval, the first day of school will be Aug. 26 and staff will return Aug. 20.
The board accepted a two‑year agreement for supervisors (nonwage elements may vary), and approved similar wage and benefit agreements for child‑care/preschool staff and building administrators. Discussion noted consistent treatment across groups on wage increases and benefit options and that openers for next year’s wages and benefits were preserved where applicable.
Roll‑call votes were recorded as affirmative in the transcript; individual vote tallies were not listed. The agreements will be communicated to employees and the community following ratification where required.
Next steps: staff will notify employees and post calendar information to district communications; bargaining teams will continue work as noted for outstanding groups.
