Board approves two-year KBEA bargaining agreement after discussion of overload pay
Summary
Board members approved a two-year contract with the teacher bargaining unit (KBEA). Board members discussed a $40,000 one-time trade-out and distribution of overload pay, with staff saying last year’s total overload cost was $140,000.
The board approved a two-year bargaining agreement with the KBEA unit after staff described a quick, collaborative negotiation. Speaker 3 told the board bargaining concluded in four days and recommended approval, noting transitions in union and district representatives since the prior agreement.
During discussion, a board member asked how the change to overload pay compared to recent actual payments. Speaker 3 said last year’s total overload cost was "$140,000," explained that the $40,000 referenced was a one-time trade-out, and said revised language should spread overload pay more broadly across staff rather than concentrating it among a few people. The board then moved and voted to approve the contract.
