CEA president presents bargaining draft seeking 1%–2% base pay increase and conditional healthcare stipend change
Summary
At the Jan. 8 board meeting, CEA President Jen Johnson introduced a draft bargaining proposal that asks for a 1%–2% raise on the base salary schedule, a healthcare stipend increase tied to Bridged Health outcomes and a table-of-contents addition to the CBA.
Jen Johnson, president of the Creston Education Association (CEA), presented a draft of items for upcoming negotiations during the Jan. 8 board meeting.
Johnson outlined three primary requests recorded in the minutes: a salary schedule increase between 1% and 2% on base pay; a proposed increase to the healthcare stipend contingent on the outcome and impact of the Bridged Health initiative; and an administrative update to the collective bargaining agreement to add a table of contents. The minutes reference attached documents and a salary schedule for further detail but do not list dollar amounts or an implementation timetable.
The minutes do not record a district response or a vote on these proposals. Discussion of next steps or bargaining dates is not included in the record; the board set its next regular meeting for Feb. 12, 2026, where negotiations-related items could reappear on the agenda.
