Board hears tentative collective bargaining agreement with estimated $85,000 impact
Summary
Andy Stover told the board a tentative collective bargaining agreement would cost about $85,000, include a 2–3% pay-scale adjustment for teachers, continued district coverage of insurance increases, and new pay for teachers substituting during prep periods.
Andy Stover, a district staff member, updated the Western Wayne Board of School Trustees on a tentative collective bargaining agreement the administration has negotiated.
Stover said the district estimates the changes will have an $85,000 budgetary impact. He described three principal elements as currently proposed: a 2–3% adjustment to the teachers’ pay scale; the district again absorbing increases in insurance premiums; and a new compensation rule for teachers asked to substitute during their prep time (he said the proposal pays $10 for 45 minutes and $20 for 90 minutes).
The board did not take a formal vote on the tentative agreement during the Oct. 9 meeting. Stover’s update was presented as information to the board; no final ratification or timetable was reported in the meeting minutes.
If the district and the bargaining unit reach a final agreement, the changes Stover described would be implemented according to the contract language and timelines established in the agreement process. The board’s next procedural steps were not specified at the meeting.
