Board approves certified contracts with step and COLA changes, longevity bonuses
Summary
The board approved two‑year certified employee contracts that implement a 2% step plus a 3% COLA (approximately a 5% total increase) and add longevity/bonus provisions for staff who are maxed out on the salary schedule.
Board approved the two‑year certified contract proposal after the superintendent summarized wording changes and financial implications. The contract retains a 2% step movement tied to years of experience and a 3% COLA for an effective pay increase of roughly 5% for eligible teachers; staff who are at the top of the salary schedule receive longevity bonuses (for example, $500 or incremental $100 per year up to a $1,000 cap) in place of step increases.
Negotiators also discussed health and safety language and minibus pay‑out structures; the board voted to approve the certified employee contracts by voice vote and directed HR to implement the changes.
