Board ratifies wage increases for multiple employee groups, approves related personnel actions
Summary
The Mt. Pleasant board ratified tentative agreements granting roughly 3% increases (retroactive to July 1) and wage-schedule adjustments for support personnel, community education, transportation, and administrators; the ratifications allow district staff to apply increases widely across at-will employees.
The Mt. Pleasant Public Schools Board of Education ratified several tentative agreements with district employee groups during its regular meeting.
Board members approved: a negotiated wage-schedule adjustment for the Mount Pleasant Support Personnel Association (including step changes and new longevity payments), a 3% increase for the Mount Pleasant Community Education Association (retroactive to July 1), a 3% increase for the Mount Pleasant Transportation Association (retroactive to July 1), and a 3% increase for the administrators association along with continuation of extended-contract pay and removal of Merit pay in future agreements. The superintendent said the district will extend the 3% increase to at‑will employees (those not covered by collective agreements) as an administrative implementation step.
The board’s action was described as the conclusion of a multi‑party negotiation process that included prior negotiations with teachers earlier in the year. The motions to ratify each tentative agreement were made, seconded and recorded as approved in roll-call sequence. No detailed vote tallies were provided in the public transcript for each motion.
What this means: ratification authorizes the district to implement the wage adjustments and longevity terms, retroactive to the stated July 1 date, and to proceed with payroll and related contract administration. The superintendent and human-resources staff will implement the changes and notify affected employees.
Next steps: payroll implementation, update of wage schedules posted to HR, and communication to bargaining units and at‑will staff.
