North Lake board approves classified‑staff negotiation package including insurance cap and paid snow days
Summary
The board accepted a negotiated agreement for classified staff that includes insurance language capped at 3.4% and an agreement on two paid snow days (for full cancellations); negotiators described the settlement as straightforward and the motion passed.
The North Lake School Board voted to approve the classified‑staff negotiation proposal presented by district negotiators, accepting a package of insurance and pay provisions reached in recent bargaining.
Superintendent summarized the agreement: insurance language was clarified with a cap up to 3.4% (the district will pay actual costs up to that level), and the parties discussed a cost‑of‑living arrangement that included a larger first‑year increase and a multi‑year COLA framework. Negotiators also agreed to provide up to two paid snow days for classified employees when full cancellations occur.
A board member moved to accept the classified negotiation proposal and the motion was seconded; the board voted in favor. The superintendent described the talks as cooperative and said the agreement should streamline upcoming certified‑staff negotiations by addressing the insurance component now.
Board members asked negotiators to proceed with confidential and certified negotiations on the prescribed timeline; the superintendent said confidential negotiations for a small group of staff will proceed in a batch format, and certified negotiations will be scheduled for follow‑up.
